My academic work throughout my degree has been following on from previous essays I wrote. Ending in my dissertation being a developed thought process from throughout the years, Angus Carlyle supervised me for my dissertation and helped pushed me to get an A. I do feel like I am interested in sound-based academic research, Acoustic ecology, soundscape ecology, deep listening, field recordings and other aspects that interest me so much. Peter Wrights’s book critiqued soundscape and field recordings which further drew my interest within it.
As I wrote in my appraisal I do feel like a potential option is to come back and pursue a MA in a few years after being an artist again and having time to dedicate myself to my artistic endeavours. I do believe I could do it, perhaps maybe even in the long term future! Once I reach my 30s.
I have seen another MA for environmental and architectural acoustic at Southbank University which seemed interesting but I’m not interested in commercial uses of sound such as architecture.

They have an anechoic champer and this course seems more scientific. This could be another option to pursue, to follow within the more conservationist, scientific study of sound and potentially get a job outside monitoring levels of noise pollution?
Either way, it’s good to see more options and see where I could go eventually. When I feel like the time is right.
