Recent CRAS grad Alex Jones has always taken the road less traveled. President of the Ecology Club in college, Jones is an outdoor enthusiast and is planning to build his budding career around his new company titled Renew Audio. “I wanted to develop some way to be creative with music and give something back to our planet at the same time,” says Jones. His vision is to combine solar and wind energy with a recording studio environment. “It would fundamentally be harmonious with the planet and insert a positive vibration of change into the music industry,” adds Jones.
To turn his dream into reality, Alex entered the Environmental Business Plan Challenge, a contest for innovative “green” companies. The sponsors of the competition are looking for a company that demonstrates an innovative approach that benefits the environment, improves environmental performance, contributes to environmental sustainability, or improves operational efficiency.

Alex enrolled at CRAS after seeing an ad in Mix magazine and looking at the CRAS website. “I had been trying to find a school that would allow me to refine and improve my mixing and engineering skills on a professional level,” he says. “I wanted to get a firm understanding of the basics, and I knew this would be a place where I could make that happen.”
“We all wish Alex the best of luck in his endeavor,” says Administrator Kirt Hamm. “His dedication coupled with the education he received here should carry him far.” The Conservatory’s 900 clock hour program stresses basic and advanced techniques that allow students to thrive and find work in many audio environments.
