Creative Music Technology
Noise Floor
The Creative Music Technology team is proud to present Noise Floor, celebrating a year of work shaped through performance, production, composition, and sound experimentation. This year’s selection of students explore a wide range of creative practices, from acoustic songwriting and independent music production to hard techno performance, cinematic composition, and sound for media.
Across the programme, students have developed distinct creative identities while refining the technical and collaborative skills needed to work across contemporary music and audio industries. Their work reflects a shared interest in sound as both a creative and communicative medium, capable of shaping atmosphere, emotion, narrative, and experience.
Noise Floor captures a group of emerging artists developing original approaches to music, sound, and sonic storytelling.

The ‘Letters I write but never send’ Project, by Honey Rich is an 11-track contemporary indie/folk concept album, that embodies coming-of-age—expressing sentiments of growing up in a world that doesn’t come with instructions. Each song on this album is akin to a letter, a letter that was written but never sent. It is about finally having the courage to be honest and vulnerable with yourself and the people around you. These songs chronicle my late teens to early twenties, and through my songwriting, I aim to mirror the beautiful chaos and tension of navigating life’s inherent unknowns. This project endeavours to cohesively showcase all the skills I have developed, in order to reach my ultimate goal: becoming an independent music artist with a sustainable career in the industry.
