Wally Gunn received a Bachelor of Music Performance (Composition) with Honours degree in 2006.
Study Interactive Composition at the Conservatorium
We focus on commercially driven cross-art modes of composition which may include writing music for events, film, television, animation, theatre, music theatre, dance, pop song, advertising, video gaming, online, installation art and sound design.
Our composers create new artistic work in group environments and embrace the theoretical and practical study of the harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and formal structures and process of contemporary music.
What is Interactive Composition?
Alternatively, if you are interested in developing composition grounded within the Western notated art music tradition, while also engaging in dialogue with other contemporary musical practices, visit our Composition discipline page.
Interactive Composition courses
I always saw music as a hobby, then one day I thought: if this is the thing I want to do forever, why not learn everything I can about it in a structured environment, with like-minded people, being taught by professionals and have access to amazing equipment and gear (that I can’t afford)?
