Naked Ear Records is The New England Institute of Art's own record label. Naked Ear produced its first CD in August 1996 and has continued to release compilation and single artist recordings. The label is supervised by Audio Production faculty members and the Audio Department Chair. This exciting venture has given students of all majors an opportunity to learn by doing as they manage all aspects of the label. Student interns are selected through an application and interview process and are the managers of each department including promotions, production, marketing and sales. Each release is highlighted by a CD release party. (Faculty Contact: Professor Barry Marshall)
