A composition by a final year sound engineering student at the University of Huddersfield stole the show at Europe’s Sixth 3D Audio Production Competition after being awarded gold in the category ‘Music Recording/Studio Production’.
The winning track titled Zoella is composed and sung in Hindi by Rohith Sakthy, a classically trained Indian vocalist, who is set to graduate from the University’s BSc (Hons) Sound Engineering and Music Production degree this summer.
“I composed the song to act as a reminder for us to take a break and make more time for ourselves,” he explained.
Rohith entered the competition following a recommendation from where he was working as part of his placement year, which he said without the help of the Placement Unit within the School of Computing and Engineering, he wouldn’t have been able to acquire.
