Melbourne - NMIT




Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of visiting and presenting a masterclass at the North Melbourne Institute of TAFE (NMIT). A terrific heritage set of building located in the north of Melbourne, in Fairfield.


NMIT have a range of music courses there : from music industry, to sound production, to a Bachelor of Australian Popular Music. They also have a range of other programs in media broadcast, theatre and television. I had the chance to tour around and see their recording studios and labs, and also had a chance to present to many students and staff from these programs in their concert hall.


I presented a piece entitled '
Music, Technology and the Future' as part of one of their courses, Online Music Distribution. In this, I talked about the history of music technology, as a way of 'looking back', perhaps 'to see forward', based on a recent paper, Audio files, audiophiles and the reflective musician.

Looking forward to seeing some NMIT graduates here at he Con in the near future. And, many thanks to Glenn & Fiona Blair for their wonderful hospitality at NMIT.
