Welcome to the beginning of Tierra Studios’ adventure into extreme recording.  We have recently begun a project involving Bernie Hatch, Dennis Dodson, and Dr. Robert Linder – just to name a VERY small few.  We began rehearsal for the first segment of recording on November 4th at the AFM union hall.  The orchestra is rehearsing 2 original jazz pieces written by Bernie Hatch.  Much, much more to come about this project! Stay Tuned!

The CD release party for Thomas Hultén’s album Slide Side was an amazing success. Many people came together at Tierra Studios from 6:00 pm until almost 10:00 pm on Monday, October 19th. There was music, mingling, food, and a few drinks floating around, as we celebrated the second release in Tierra Studios’ jazz series. We would like to extend a very special thanks to Kathryn Sherman, Jim Sherman, Traey Hatch, Glenn Wheeler, Dr. Robert Linder, Thomas Hultén, Dan Kramlich, Lana Smith, Andrea Sedeno, all the FMI staff, and everyone else that was involved in this project from start to finish. We couldn’t have done it without each and everyone of you!!!!

POSR, the electro thrash band that Tierra Music signed in May, rocked San Antonio last week with its first official live show with the whole band. The electro post-punk group commanded the crowd at Wax Club to dance. It won’t be the last time. These guys are coming to Houston in July — Stay tuned for details.

Country singer-songwriter Bryan Harkness, who Tierra Music signed in May, is spending a lot of time at Tierra Studios this month recording 13 songs for his upcoming album. The record will come out in January 2010, but people will get a chance to hear his single “We Don’t Have to Walk Alone” long before that. Stay tuned for more.

Honey Claws kept busy with a show every single day of the week during SXSW ’09 in Austin. The electronic hip hop group was well received, with tons of wild partygoers on the dancefloors at their parties.
