Hatfield Media
Multimedia Production for Louisville Artists
Recordings, Haiti Benefit and the new Studio
Jan 31st
Our apologies for the delay in getting content out these past weeks! We have just finished moving into our new apartment, recorded 2 benefit concerts (one for Camp Mark, one for Haiti) and have had full work weeks. It has been intense to say the least. Here is a small rundown of what is going on…
First off, the Cool Hand Luke show is nearly finished. I’m polishing it off (it was a very rough recording) and we should have mp3s up very very soon.
Secondly, the Haiti benefit show recorded at the 930 Listening Room is in the process of song selection by the artists and then will go through a final mixdown. My honest prediction is that it will be available for download sometime next week. I am really looking forward to releasing this one. The entire show was wonderful, the sound is great and I love every single artist who performed.
Lastly… As some of you may know we are currently in the process of building a brand new recording studio in downtown Louisville. The name has yet to be finalized, but it will be located on the corner of 7th and St. Catherine. We plan on running it as the low-cost high-quality alternative to other studios around town. We will be posting more detail on that in the near future.
New content this week!

Ryan Anderson – 08-03-07- Live at the 930!
Dec 24th
I have been digging through the back catalog over the past few weeks and found a unique show… Ryan Anderson played an acoustic set with John Whitaker back in 2007. Any show in 2007 was a small show, and this one was bare bones. Very small captive audience, stripped down acoustic sets for both artists, and the recording is a raw soundboard tap and it shows. If you can get past the rugged un-polished recording then you might enjoy the transparent singer-songwriter performances of the show.

My Brightest Diamond – 11-12-09 – Live at the 930!
Dec 14th
My Brightest Diamond
We’ve been saving this one for a rainy day… 2 years late, but better late than never. Ladies and gentlemen, My Brightest Diamond! If you’ve never heard this group you are in for a treat. If Nora Jones sang is a knarly rockn’roll band, this would be it. The complete show is available for free download in the audio section.
Part of the reason for the delay is all the work that needed to be done due to audio source dropouts… This problem is most evident on the encore ‘Freakout!’ but for the majority of the recording is not noticeable due to extensive editing. The place was packed and somehow the power supply on my old MOTU got a bit jolted.. Thankfully the unit stuck it out til the bitter end, and we now have a beautiful souveneer of the show! I recorded bands for 6 years prior to that problem, and it was the last gig done on that unit.
The recording balances out about 2 minutes into the first song. From then on it is very consistent. Be sure to thank My Brightest Diamond for allowing us to release this for free to the public!
