Now in its 18th year, PAT students work in the U-M state-of-the-art music technology and audio recording studios. Through individualized creative projects, students learn the fundamentals of music technology and recording. During the first week, students create original compositions that use MIDI and digital audio. The second week focuses on advanced applications in music technology including sound design, film scoring, multi-track recording and production, and a collaboration with students in the Summer Dance Institute. Both weeks will include theory classes with MPulse students in other sessions. PAT student work is compiled, mastered, and presented on a website. The two weeks culminate in a performance of student works.
"
MPulse helped me become a better all-around artist because it not only focused on my individual art form but it allowed me to talk with and get to to know other artists who are passionate
about what they do." (Emily, PAT 2011, MI)
