Update #30: preview version of "Haunt" out for Halloween
Posted on October 13, 2009
I figured it would be neat for the world to get to hear "Haunt" for Halloween, so I put it up here:

It's slightly updated from last week's post. Unlike the backers-only post from last week, however, this one you can link to and even embed if you'd like to pass it around (please do pass it around!)
Enjoy!

I sculpt data that scrambles electrons that excite magnets that move speakers that ripple the air that tickles your eardrum that tantalizes your brain that shakes your bum. Simply put, I'm a music producer and recording engineer. I do a lot of work with some of New Orleans' favorite acts, including Preservation Hall & the New Orleans Bingo! show.
Among the more famous artists I've recorded are Tom Waits, Pete Seeger, Del McCoury, Lenny Kravitz, Jim James, Paolo Nutini, Mos Def, and Buddy Miller. I've also done independent recordings for local greats like Shannon Powell, Tom McDermott, Luke Winslow-King, Meschiya Lake, & Kristin Diable.
In addition to my studio engineering, I produce and perform electronic music as The Madd Wikkid, and have been known to play piano/keyboards around New Orleans and Japan. I also sometimes tour as a live sound engineer.
Wow Earl! This is beyond what I could have expected. Absolutely a wonderful piece here. Who is the vocalist?
That's Carmen Barika (aka "Black Betty"). I recorded those vocals for a VERY different version of the song back in 2001. When I started in on this, I dug out the old vocal tracks just as a place holder while I constructed the new version of the tune. I ended up liking them so much I wanted to keep them.
I hadn't seen Carmen in years, and it took me a few months to track her down. I managed to find her, though, and she gave me the OK to go ahead and use her vocals.
hows it going down there Earl????
listening to Mad wikkid right now........
