Update #31: OK, I'm back!
Posted on January 17, 2010
After my last update, I spent the rest of October and most of November putting the finishing touches on this monumental new Preservation Hall record:
http://www.preservationabenefitalbum.com/about.aspx
Each track on the album has a guest artist, and the roster is pretty amazing. It includes Tom Waits, Merle Haggard, Ani DiFranco, Paolo Nutini, and more. Also, we scored what might be the most special guest ever: we got unprecedented permission to pull the vocals off of an old Louis Armstrong recording and put it to new music played by the Pres Hall band. That took some serious engineering finesse, but all the tedious hard work yielded fantastic results.
It comes out on Mardi Gras day (Feb 16th), and I can't wait for it to get out into the world. It's really something special.
Somewhere in all that chaos, I managed to get John Boutte back in to sing on a track for Electronola. I've started editing and programming on it, but it's certainly not finished yet. After such a long hiatus, though, I felt compelled to post an update with audio. Below is a clip of the song "Let It Go" that features his vocals.
Enjoy!!!

Has not connected their Facebook account.
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.
This is beyond awesome. The Mardi Gras Day release date is positively serendipitous...I get chills!
You have worked hard and passionately to provide your supporters, fans and fellow musicians with a product (and experience!) worthy not only of their support, but of taking a real place in music notoriety.
I'm so proud to be your friend!
