Preservation Hall Sound Engineer, Earl Scioneaux III, will be recording a Daft Punk tribute album this Summer. Scioneaux's unique twist lies in the translation between his Daft Punk arrangements and the brass band musicians performing the music. Scioneaux is funding his project through donations generated by his BRASSFT PUNK KICKSTARTER account. Donations will end on 6/15 at 6:00PM.

Earl Scioneaux’s Brassft Punk Project Goes Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger-Offbeat, by Cate Czarnecki
"Daft Punk seemed an obvious choice - their music is great, it's accessible and widely known, and it's super danceable. What better way to reformat their tunes than the irresistible funky goodness of a New Orleans brass band?"
"I plan to arrange Daft Punk's 4 biggest hits for brass band. I've already written the arrangement for Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. The other 3 tunes I'll be doing are: One More Time, Around the World, and Da Funk."-Earl Scioneaux III
