Our platform collaborates with the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance
At Samplesound, we are excited to announce our new partnership with the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance - the London-based organisation working to train the next generation of contemporary musicians. Offering programs ranging from short classes to Bachelors and Masters degrees, ICMP specialises in a variety of different music education courses that work to provide its students with exceptional instruction.
As an institution, ICMP has the mission of offering its students the best resources and information regarding their future careers in the music industry. With facilities containing the latest equipment, experienced tutors, and an international music industry network, ICMP is more than just a music production school. The Institute offers all of the best, applicable tools for its students through its career-focused approach. Having been successful in the field of music education for over 30 years, the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance consistently searches for ways to include more valuable elements to its repertoire.
At Samplesound, we are proud to be joining the team. Our collaboration with ICMP aims to provide high-quality samples and effective, entertaining tutorials for the future of music. Standing in line with ICMP’s values of celebrating individuality and personalising the learning experience, Samplesound offers samples in various genres, as well as a diverse selection of tutorials. Music training requires inclusivity, and that is exactly what Samplesound hopes to contribute to the students and faculty at ICMP.
Regardless of genre preferences and specialisations, Samplesound Academy's library of tutorial videos can cater to every music student at ICMP. From general lessons on how to make a beat to more targeted areas of learning, music production school has never been more entertaining. Beyond tutorials, Samplesound Academy also offers the expert perspectives of working professionals in the music industry.
As a tool that can be used both in the classroom and beyond it, Samplesound looks forward to continuing to grow alongside ICMP as a valuable instrument in music education and the careers that are created by it.
How can I access the samples offered by Samplesound and ICMP?
Access to the sample packs offered by Samplesound and ICMP is exclusively available to ICMP students. Enrolled students can access a specially curated selection of sample packs through the institution's dedicated online portal, where they can download these resources directly. This exclusive access aims to support ICMP students in their studies and creative projects, offering them professional-grade tools to enhance their work.
Currently, the samples included in this partnership are not available for public purchase or access outside of ICMP’s network, making it a unique benefit for students of the institution.
What music genres do the ICMP samples cover?
The collaboration between Samplesound and ICMP aims to provide samples that cover a broad spectrum of music genres, aligning with the diverse range of courses and styles taught at the institution. The main genres include:
- Electronic Music: House, Techno, EDM, and other variations of electronic music.
- Pop and Contemporary Music: Samples that range from traditional pop to modern production sounds.
- Hip-Hop and R&B: Rhythmic loops, percussion, and atmospheric sounds for urban and hip-hop productions.
- Rock and Alternative: Guitar, bass, drums, and other instrumental sounds to create rock and alternative pieces.
This variety ensures that producers can find exactly what they need, regardless of their musical background or the type of project they want to develop.
Will this partnership affect the pricing of the samples?
The partnership with ICMP will not negatively impact the price of Samplesound’s products available to the general public. One of the main goals of this collaboration is to make high-quality content accessible to a wider audience, without additional costs for end users. While ICMP students will enjoy free access to selected sample packs, Samplesound’s standard pricing on its website will remain unchanged for regular customers.
Samplesound also plans to offer periodic promotions to encourage new users to try out its sample packs and expand their sound collection, making professional music production more affordable and accessible.
