The CRAS Splash At AES This year, the venerated House Of Blues in Los Angeles played host to a pre-AES industry bash sponsored by the Conservatory of Recording Arts. Most of LA's studio elite was in attendance, along with a number of equipment manufacturers, composers, and Conservatory graduates. "We love to get out and interface with the industry", said Kirt Hamm, Conservatory administrator. "It's easy to lose sight of why we do what we do, but to rub elbows with our successful graduates on their home turf is a very powerful reminder to us of why our work is so important and worthwhile." The event has already borne fruit for the benefit of Conservatory students. "We've already had four new studios approach us about having our students as interns. They talked to other studio managers that already take our students and were so impressed that they now want them for their own organization," said Hamm, who has expressed excitement at holding another similar event at the 115th AES Convention in New York City next fall.
