Cluster Major Melds Digital Music Creation, Production, and Entrepreneurship
Recording Studio Supervisor Parish Dawe-Chadwick ’21 is a teaching lecturer in the digital music production and entrepreneurship program (DMP&E), a Cluster major that takes advantage of Plymouth State’s curricular interdisciplinarity. He explains that all music nowadays is digitally produced—and even digitally created.
“Many scores for major commercials, films, and TV shows have a ‘full orchestra’ backing them, but it’s all digital,” says Dawe-Chadwick. “You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference because samples are so high quality now. Digital has become so far reaching; it’s the mode of the industry.”
Dawe-Chadwick runs the program’s daily operations. Despite his youthfulness, or perhaps because of it, he’s well-versed in the burgeoning field.
The audio industry has more than blossomed; it has evolved. The University’s innovative curriculum helps digital artists master technical skills and test their mettle as independent business owners, and state-of-the-art equipment prepares students for successful solo entrepreneurship upon graduation.
