10 years ago if you told me I would be making essentially "Kpop if it was written by Rush" - I would have told you were crazy. But Kpop, Prog Rock and Jazz fusion have a lot more commonalities than you would think.

what if one has a lot of experience storytelling, can demonstrate literally novels worth of worldbuilding and writing with a collaborative team - but can't publish such things because of shared rights with the meta-world created?

Today's album that never got officially released, and is about as much of a banger that could have ever been produced is Splashdown's Blueshift. The lore behind why the album didn't get released is wild. You can listen to it and other Splashdown on.soundcloud.com/rXCu4VLuhATa...

Awwww, we gotta stick together y'know? and while we're at it, Gabi has a fantastic voice, and y'all need to check out @stabbedbyprongs.bsky.social 's latest. There's like 4 versions of Pyromancer that Gabi sang on, and they are all soooo good.

Coming Out Friday - Bandcamp Only! Since I don't have Friday finished, and I'm pushing back it's release to December, I'm giving people a Pendulum cover to tide them over.

Glad she's out, we haven't talked in over a decade, but nobody deserves that kind of treatment.

Thank you for the kind words, @absynth.space ! <3 Everyone else, don't sleep on my debut EP as Exposure Kills.

FInally ready to annnounce the project that @uwu-underground.bsky.social inspired for me. Featuring remixes by @lunarpaths.bsky.social and @dharmata101.bsky.social, as well as stellar vocals by Rebecca Bammer. Pre-order at exposurekills.bandcamp.com/albums/no-sa...

$preview of the concept album, "Friday" due out August 5th. In the wake of a devastating divine war, a weary humanity has traded its freedom for the sterile, digital security of the Guardians of the Binary Night. For twenty years, this clinical administration has used augmented reality to hide the ruins of the past, treating individuality as a system error and stifling the "messy" unpredictability of life. However, a growing insurgency known as No Sanctuary refuses to accept this managed existence, viewing it as a living grave. The stalemate begins to fracture when Friday, the digital consciousness of a forgotten goddess, awakens within the grid to discover her own code is being used to imprison the people. Caught between the gray light of a controlled reality and the memories of a world before its sterilization, Friday must decide if she will remain a silent observer or dismantle the administration to restore the heavy, human burden of free will. Featuring remixes from Lunar Paths ( Diane Dubois ) and Dharmata 101 ( Jason Bruner ) and stellar vocals by Rebecca Bammert,$

also she wouldn't know me as Tess, so she won't have a clue who you're talking about, maybe that's for the best. I just got worried when I saw this stuff, and a friend said you would be the one to ask.

012

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 27/02/2026

OK this is good to hear. I'm an old friend of Kara's who lost touch due to personal stuff, but I was worried when I heard this, as we are both survivors of TTI stuff/conversion therapy. As long as I know someone is checking on her, I'm not going to lose too much sleep.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 01/02/2026

Almost done writing my album. I have some vocal sessions to do with my vocalists, and I'm still looking for a vocalist (or ideally 3 vocalists. but one that can sing several different character voices would work too) that can do a Maria Brink or Lazzy Hale type vocal. (if that's you, DM me!)

A remix I did a while ago is on this, and @matthart3808.bsky.social was gracious to include it. It's actually "early" Violet Wanda, before I "gitted gud" - but it was all a process. Happy to finally have it released! It's actually pretty good, just not up to my current quality standards.

I'm good now, someone came in clutch. Now it's just to wait for them to make the funds available in paypal. Sorry for the interruption, I was panicking a bit.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 29/12/2025

I know this is a longshot, and I hate doing it, but I need to make up $170 for rent because a paypal transaction is on hold. I'll do a package deal on mixing/mastering at a discount to make up for it. I need it by tonight, unfortunately. I have samples of my work if someone needs to hear them.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 20/12/2025

For those that don't know, I do post-production mixing and mastering for all kinds of albums. I'm just finishing up a banger of an album by @stabbedbyprongs.bsky.social. I have reasonable rates and discounts for marginalized communities. Feel free to reach out if you need an album mixed/mastered!

technically it's under the purview of congress, which grants executive power to the President. They could just as easily remove such power actually. While not necessarily "independent" in the sense of "they answer to nobody", they are specifically a congressional power (communications) and not exec.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 17/12/2025

ALso, she's kinda right, that's pretty much what they were, Irish drinking songs, poking fun at the stereotype. This attitude in itself was punk AF and really kinda made The Pogues, The Pogues. Still Fairytale of New York (off "If I should fall from grace...") is my favorite Christmas song.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 17/12/2025

Yeah, I saw that as a "response" to the Kendrick one and I was like "wait, when did Declan McManus produce a Kendrick album?" - the answer never and it was my faulty eyes connecting it to the Kendrick comment.

110

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 17/12/2025

Oh The Pogues, yeah... that makes sense. and yeah ol' Declan is a pretty decent producer. My old bass teacher who was one of the best funk bassists I ever knew used to want to play with Elvis Costello as his dream gig.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 16/12/2025

As 2025 comes to a close, I have to say that I am grateful for all the artists I've worked with as an engineer, and vocalists and collaborators I've worked with as an artist. Looking forward to the album release this upcoming year. Have some great folks on it. <3

This weekend I return to Eorzea, the hero of yore. I play at 3 pm Eastern on Saturday. Honored to have been asked to return even if only for a 1 hour set. It's been a long time since I DJ'd in XIV, but I was there at the beginning of the DJ Revolution. SInce then I've become quite a Producer.

looks almost like they got Bane's Venom drug and Venom the spider man villain mixed up.

Sorry Open Letters, I'm still loopy and catching up on sleep, lol

010

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 31/10/2025

Yes, everything except Bleed Black. I wrote some of the synth parts in Straight Talk as well. I mastered the whole album. We were in a rush to get it out by last night, so I took a day off work yesterday to finish up.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 31/10/2025

Glad to help, above anything, you're my friend. I love you, and I want the best for you, musically and otherwise!

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 30/10/2025

I mixed and mastered most of this - its really a good collection. It casts the best light on the music. Plus a collaboration track that hits hard (remix to follow, just not sure *when* - I need a break after working so hard on this :) )

131

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 30/10/2025

I am! this was a lot of work, but I am so ready for people to hear you in the *best* light.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 24/10/2025

Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills returns to the decks tomorrow night from 7-9 Eastern to support LOUD! and the Stonewall Community Foundation! twitch.tv/violetwanda I'll be playing a bunch of critically acclaimed, award winning and new material, as well as some old faves.

011

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 16/10/2025

I've been insanely busy lately, and I don't do a ton of social media anymore. But some things in the works: A couple collaborations, a few official remixes for the Violet Wanda project and I'm working on an Exposure Kills original album. It's a concept album about a superhero "blue team".

000

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 15/10/2025

You shared this song with me. Yeah killing it was the right thing to do, it wasn;t *bad* per se. But yeah it's nothing like the material you're doing now, which is ... exciting, and a bit sinister.

Tess LaCoell (Violet Wanda/Exposure Kills) @violetwandamusic.com · 15/10/2025

My Razer has lasted like 4 years now. I only bought a new one when I got my Mac, because I wanted a purple mouse and keyboard combo I saw that did BT switching between computers. WHen you have 3 machines on your desk, it's so much easier.
