This module is related to the main subject module.

Exploring some of the most prolific names from the international underground scene, this band will dive into the work of artists like Earth, Sunn O))), Kali Malone, Ellen Arkbro, and Stephen O’Malley. These associated artists create highly intentional works with long timelines and detailed sound sculpting.

With influences ranging from doom rock, noise, metal, folk, jazz, and experimental music – not in the least, iconic composers such as La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, and Eliane Radigue – this group of contemporary artists opens a gateway to a rich history of heavy, trance-like avant-garde.

Handed out by the instructor (where applicable).

Generating internal publicity for the band's concerts, and selecting repertoire.

Assessment by the band instructor at the end of each semester.

Live production, sound sculpting, long lines, intentionality, playing together in slow tempo, texturality, effect usage, technology as instrument.

The student has completed this module if being awarded a minimum grade of 5.5 at the end of the second semester.

Written assessment by the instructor at the end of both semesters. Assessment at the end of the autumn semester is formative and expressed in terms of satisfactory/unsatisfactory. It indicates a student's progress in this module. No ECs are awarded and there is no resit. Modules can only be absolved, and ECs awarded, after the end of the spring semester. The end-of-semester assessments comprise evaluations of students' performance during the rehearsals and public performances.
