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 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.

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!

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.

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 :) )
TONIGHT!!!!

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".

I do the B-side remix for this, and it's literally one of the best things I've ever done as Violet Wanda. I took a creepy mid-tempo synthpop track and made it 180 bpm sinister industrial drum n bass.
Check it out on Nov 14th, presave here.

On the plane on my way home from DEFCON (and the tail end of STLV with my brother). I am soooo tired and need to sleep like a day.
However, evidently Scott Bakula sent a message to my mother on stage at STLV and told her she could cash on her hall pass with him (what?!?!)

This actually hits the nail right on the head.
And when they do, you may wonder why anarcho-terrorism is being idolized by young Americans instead of their elected leaders.
The answer is because a lunatic with a weapon was able to make your constituents feel represented while their lawmakers were representing a predator.
