Earl Scioneaux

Straightpin New Orleans, LA

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' favorites, including Preservation Hall and the New Orleans Bingo! show. I'm currently working on some audio plug-in development, and I sometimes tour as a live sound engineer.

I've been involved in the music scene in New Orleans for about 15 years. For the last 5 years, I've been the recording engineer for Preservation Hall Recordings.

Among others I've recorded are Pete Seeger, Del McCoury, Jim James, The Blind Boys of Alabama, and George Porter, Jr. I've also done independent recordings for local greats like Shannon Powell, Luke Winslow-King, and Clint Maedgen.

I also produce and perform electronic music as The Madd Wikkid, and have been known to play piano/keyboards around New Orleans and Japan.

  6. Yeah, I recorded "Lord, Lord, Lord" for Shannon. Man, that was fun. Gotta give Ben Jaffe credit for the concept on that one. He's really the one that finessed it into being what it is.

  14. Wow! I got a third backer @ $100. I have no idea why I capped that tier at 2. Never mind that restriction - If anybody else wants to back for $100, I'll still put you on the record if you'd like.
  15. Thanks for all the support! I'm excited to see this thing at 17% already! Wow!!!
