Boltfish recordings. Hatchelt

Bristol-based artist Hatchelt builds deeply textured downtempo soundscapes with elements of guitar, piano, strings, field recordings and electronics. His debut release ‘Everything’s Exactly As You Left It’ was released on Barcelona-based label Spark in 2001.

Hatchelt worries that “creativity may by finite. If this is the case, and if we have no say in how long we have it for, then every single piece of output is important and should be enjoyed to it's fullest, treated like it is the last. Because when it's gone, it's gone and all that's left is ‘Best Of...’ albums and Pop Idol...the music world already has more than enough of that crap as it is.”
