Create: Amplify

We’re partnering with Wipe Out Publishing to launch a part-time bootcamp programme taking place over 20 weeks from July 3rd – September 18th for recording artists and industry professionals to learn all the skills needed to build a career in Library Music.

Library or Production music is music recorded to a brief by work-for-hire musicians, which is owned by music-library labels and lent out to TV, film, advertisements, online or in video games. It is licensed to other businesses and is not commercially released.

Our Create:Amplify programme will take 4 recording artists and 12 supervisor/ producers through the process of a fully subsidised recording, as well as the mixing of a final output track.

Alongside the Bootcamp Programme, Wipe Out Publishing will be running 5 public workshops demystifying the world of music publishing, covering everything attendees should know about copyright, how music publishers work, and how they can make money from their music.

These workshops are designed for attendees at all points in their careers – whether they have just written their first song or released their fiftieth, or whether you’re looking to start a career in the music industry or you’re well on your way.

With so many music creators choosing a DIY route to making a career in music, it’s important that you know how services such as PRS, MCPS and PPL work to ensure you’re not missing out on making money from your music and performances. No question is a stupid question!
