Welcome to Sound Design
Sound Design is one of the pathways of the HKU Music and Technology's Creative Media and Game Technologies Bachelor degree course. In Sound Design you learn to design sound in a way that gives it meaning.
You may not have thought about it, but many of the sounds you hear daily have been designed. Not just in entertainment, such as film, television, games and online content, but also the sound of electric toothbrushes, chainsaws and electric bikes. The professional field of a Sound Designer is broad, so you have plenty of options.
Sound Design always begins with the meaning: which emotions or images does this sound evoke? Why is that and how does it work? When you understand this, you can translate the atmosphere that a game or film (or even a car) is meant to radiate into the right sound. This combination of creative vision and technology will make you highly sought after.
