The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) recently celebrated the completion of its new studio facility in Kilburn, NW London and the launch of its Creative Music Production courses.
The studio build was a 12-month project managed by studio builders Slowglass. ICMP was the first to receive Audient’s latest ASP8024 large-format console, configured with two producer panels in order to mount the Avid S3 control surface.
Outboard gear includes UAD’s 6176 Vintage Channel Strip and a Lexicon PCM 92 FX processor while Pro Tools, Logic Pro X and Ableton Live are also being utilised in the studio. The main production room is also kitted out with two Moog Mother 32 analogue synths and Novation Bass Station analogue synths. Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol the Arturia V Collection appear in all production rooms and in tech suites.
Mike Sinnott, facilities manager at ICMP and former director of Alchemea College, said: “It is so great to see Alchemea College continue to live on through ICMP. Not only did the two institutions share the same ethos in providing small, personalised learning experiences for students, we also have many of the Alchemea team joining us at ICMP.
“Students who choose to study Music Production at ICMP really are getting the best of both worlds. I’ve been working on the studio build for 12 months and it still takes my breath away every time I come in here, the students are so lucky!”
