Digital Technology
Medinea On Air
This module aims to introduce the participants to digital technologies (e.g. audio and video recording, editing) that they can use in the context of Mediterranean Youth Orchestra symphonic and Medinea auditions (especially when auditions cannot be held face to face), but that they can also employ at any other stage in their musical career. Another highlight of this module is the presentation of technical solutions for group rehearsals when located in different parts of the world. A third key theme of this module is studio recording, and collaborating with a sound engineer before and during recorded and/or live performances. Participants will also be introduced to electronic tools and to the ways in which these tools can be blended with acoustic instruments and composition.
More and more organisations are recruiting artists through a video application process that requires you to film and record your own artistic performance. In this webinar, Aurélie Granier offers practical tips on how to do your best technically while recording the required video application.

This webinar introduces performers to home recording practices. First, we discuss essential sound recording equipment and software. Next, we illustrate the ways to use this equipment and to do home recording, via a sample recording session. Finally, we explain the post-production phase of mixing and mastering.

Recent developments within media industries have forced studios to adapt to the latest demands of major companies and digital platforms. This webinar tackles the steps of music production in relation to the structure of recording studios. It also presents the latest developments in music production.

How can we integrate instrumental sounds with electronics? In an effort to touch both the aesthetic and technical aspects of this matter, this webinar presents a M4L developed for mixed media composition and presents one of its applications in Manolis Ekmektsoglou’s composition Outside-time Sketch.

Medinea On Air is a European Union Erasmus+ funded programme that unites six partners from the Mediterranean region: the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence (France), the Ente Musicale di Nuoro (Italy), ARC Research and Consultancy (Malta), the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa (Portugal), the University of Ljubljana – Academy of Music (Slovenia), and the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey).
Medinea On Air aims to provide specific preparation for classical musicians and improvisers who wish to audition for the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra’s symphonic and Medinea Sessions; and more broadly, to enrich young musicians’ musical training. Therefore, in addition to Audition and Competition Preparation, the programme provides three other modules: Digital Technology, Career Development and Human, Social and Entrepreneurial Skills and Aesthetics, Cultures, Identities and Artistic Encounters.
