MediaRacket is a boutique studio in NYC designed to provide professional quality Audio Post
Founded in 2003 by Tom Gambale, MediaRacket was a concept born out of a growing need to provide professional grade Sound Design and Audio Post Production services at competitive rates to independent film and content producers as an alternative to larger, less budget-friendly facilities in NYC. Over the years, our client roster has grown to include an impressive array of industry leaders and creati
ve partners. We’ve collaborated with major brands and networks such as MLB, Refinery29, The Sundance Channel, Moët, The New York Times, YouTube, Warner Bros. Home Video, USA Network, ESPN, BMW, The Radio Mercury Awards, NY1 News, Hulu, Discovery ID, KIA, and The History Channel—as well as numerous independent producers and directors. As a Sound Designer, Dialogue Editor, and Re-Recording Mixer, Tom displays a diverse and dynamic body of work spanning feature films, documentaries, and television. His documentary credits include high-profile projects such as the Warner Bros. documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures; HBO’s two-part investigative docu-series Gaming Wall Street; Norman Mailer: The American, a deep dive into the life of the controversial novelist; the gripping baseball documentary War on the Diamond; and The Business of Birth Control, produced by Ricki Lake. Tom’s feature film work includes the Official Cannes Film Festival selection Stop the Pounding Heart; the indie drama Bereave, starring Malcolm McDowell, Jane Seymour, and Keith Carradine; My Hindu Friend, the final film from acclaimed director Hector Babenco starring Willem Dafoe; the sci-fi/psychological thriller Alterscape with Michael Ironside; Junction, directed by and starring Bryan Greenberg and featuring Griffin Dunne; and the 2025 indie drama Beyond the Rush, featuring Eric Roberts, Mena Suvari, and Cathy Moriarty. On the television side, Tom’s more recent credits include ViceTV’s crime docuseries Betraying the Badge; Shakira: Desde Times Square, a special broadcast for NBC/Univision; and A&E’s acclaimed series Hip Hop Treasures, celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop culture. Many of the films Tom has contributed to have been featured in and received accolades from prestigious film festivals, including the Sundance Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, Boston Film Festival, Dallas International Film Festival, Brussels International Film Festival, and more.

Breaking MediaRacket News! Earlier this year, we were approached by Cal Arts (The California Institute of the Arts) with an invitation from Evan Tapper, the Dean of Extended Studies, to assist them in their 'Introduction to the Art of Filmmaking for Emerging Artists' course, specifically in the areas of Post Production Audio and ADR. Cal Arts' notable alumni includes Tim Burton, Don Cheadle, Ed Harris, Paul Rubens and Julie Taymor, among many, many others. Being even a small part of this institution's significant history makes us extremely proud, and we are very happy that our content will benefit Cal Arts' film students. https://mediaracket.com/

Congratulations to my talented wife, Camille DeBiase on her FIRST PLACE WIN in the TMFF Screenplay Competition with her feature script, "The S.S. Robin"! BRAVO Camille!!
Stepping away from the California/Country Rock style the Eagles were known for, the uncharacteristic I Can’t Tell You Why, written by Timothy Schmidt along with Henley and Frey was recorded in March of 1978, a good year and a half before being included on the final LP of their initial incarnation, The Long Run in late ’79. Don Henley described the song as “straight Al Green” adding that during the production of the track, he suggested that Schmidt look to Smoky Robinson for vocal inspiration. While the R&B style track was an impressive success, reaching # 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, it marked the last time that the Eagles would see a top 10 hit. Originally our idea for this edition was to join the songs I Cant Tell You Why with another evocative 70’s masterpiece, 10cc’s I’m Not In Love, but during the planning and production, ended up leaving the better part of it to the Eagles tune. Though, you can still hear a lot of the 10cc/I’m Not In Love inspiration in our rendition’s second half.
Our return guest vocalist, Katia Floreska, turns in an amazing vocal performance and in the process, truly makes the song her own. Her lead and background vocals are simply spot-on perfect. Katia is a New York based singer, musician, songwriter and voice-over artist who has collaborated with many notable artists through her ever expanding career such as Ronnie Spector, Roberta Flack and Valerie Simpson. You can see Katia performing regularly with NYC’s beloved institution, The Losers Lounge.
Also joining us on this edition, returning on bass guitar with a positively soulful performance, is Jesse Krakow. Jesse has worked with such notables as Bootsy Collins, Jello Biafra, Kate Pierson and Nona Hendrix among many others. Check out Jesse’s marvelous podcast F*** This Gig () on Apple Music, Spotify, Google Podcasts and others.
Under The Covers’ veteran, Pat Wolf, is back and laying down a superb R&B beat for this edition of UTC. Pat is involved in a new project that he’ll announce shortly on his FB page - see link below.
