Hattner has said of his conducting style, "It is generally somewhat of a collaborative process between myself and the musicians, having been a player myself. I'm fairly specific about what I'm asking for in terms of the tempos and the phrasing, but bits of individual expression comes from the hearts and minds of the players themselves. I don't try to micromanage every detail." In addition to conducting and clarinet performance, Hattner has participated in multimedia work with silent film both nationally and internationally. He continues to perform clarinet in ensembles such as 45th Parallel,{{cite web|url=http://www.45thparallelpdx.org/musicians.html|title=Featured Artists|access-date=March 10, 2012|publisher=45th Parallel|website=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202221655/http://www.45thparallelpdx.org/musicians.html|archive-date=February 2, 2012|url-status=live}} Martingale Ensemble and other projects.Sources for Martingale Ensemble:
