The Noiseblock Partnership
The University of North Alabama entered into a partnership with Noiseblock Studios in January 2007. This partnership will allow for a certain number of recording studio hours per week for students in Entertainment Industry programs. The state of the art facility, located just two blocks from campus, was recently completed and is expected to be one of the finest and most modern in the south. The creative partner at Noiseblock is producer songwriter Gary Baker who is a co-writer on songs such as “I Swear” and “I’m Already There”. Baker and business partner Heath Colcock have built the studio for their own projects and view the partnership with the university as an opportunity to give back to young creative talent through the sharing of unused time at the studio. The partnership allows the university to capture the time at a fraction of the market value.
