An important peer-reviewed article is now published in the Nova Contemporary Music Journal, volume 4, issue 1, dealing with listening in the composing process. Offering new insights into the listening faculties mobilised by composers, it advances new concepts and terminology, bridging an important gap in the literature. The article was first presented on the 5th of May 2023 at the Nova Contemporary Music Meeting.
During the last years, through Universidade Lusófona, and via the notable FilmEU European consortium it leads, I was deeply involved in the creation of a new and innovative Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree (EMJMD) in Sound, called ReSound. I was joined by David Novack, from Lusófona, and we collaborated with lecturers from partner institutions, namely IADT (Dublin, Ireland) and LMTA (Vilnius, Lithuania). Conor Brennan (IADT) led the degree development progress and most team meetings and so deserves a special mention. ReSound had its first student intake in the 2025-26 academic year.
The peer-reviewed article Introducing Sound to Animation Students is now published in CILECT’s 21st Century Film, TV & Media School – Teaching Sound: Aesthetics & Praxis book.
