January 8th, 2010 by Hexfix93
Yes the first single in support of “The Art of Breaking Apart” is finally out both in europe, and in america. Digital only, so through the metropolis web site only. I cant find it on Itunes or Amazon yet. Click here to buy and listen to Caustic Disco EP for North America. Click here to buy and listen to Caustic Disco for Europe. Remixes from Mindless Faith, Kalte Farben, Distorted Retrospect and more. Plus some bonus tracks, alternate mix of killed in space, and two toxic coma tracks mental itch, and zombie sex(the best party song ever made). So go check it out, and buy it. If you decided to pirate it like so many do, please donate money to me so you don’t have to feel guilty about steeling from me. Thanks. :) Also, Krztov did a free demo mix of the song, you can download it here http://www.velvetacidchrist.com/causticdiscoinferno-v2.mp3.
Below is the second video off the LP “The Art of Breaking Apart”. I really like how I blended the acoustic guitar into this brutal psy trance track. This is one of my favorite songs on the LP and it really features my modular and my future retro revolution. To me this is one of the best sounding things I have ever made from a production stand point. Hope you enjoy.
News: Doing a lot of pre production for the new LP I am working on, organizing and arranging my synth sounds and patch presets. Setting up my drum kits, wiring up the mixer, getting everything labeled. I am nervous to start working again, I have some songs already written, just not recorded or produced. I have 2 guitar tracks. I want to remake some songs from Oblivion Interface. Namely Fried and Cease to Understand. I will never again make long lps, I will do lps that are 8 to 9 tracks long MAX from here on out, and try to make the songs way better, quality not quantity. I plan to do 2 singles for each lp I do. So maybe I will include one single on the LP as a ltd edition in the future. So I am already underway. I think the art of breaking apart has done well. I hope it sells better. I am also looking for a live band now. VAC is now 100% a solo project. I am looking for people who can play guitar and keyboards and drum pads live though, I am on the look out, must be in Colorado. I will not play with people who do not know how to play, so I must find WEIRD talented people for the job. I also plan to do some more synth reviews for this site. I will post some in the near future.
I love my new set up, Mopho, Trinity, Virus A, Nord Lead 2, Jp-8080, AN1x(master controller, love it), Emu e6400 ultra, Logic 8, ksp8 fx, Distressors x2, Pcm96, Amt8, Apogee Duet, + Komplete Software(will barely use it, i’m a hardware freak). I’m no longer an analog snob. I want to use thinner sounds, and layer more, make more complex mixes. I find this easier to do with the old virtual analogs, the first generation ones I find sound the best. No more track by track recording. I will run it all live like I did in the old days. This gear set up is pretty close to what I had during the calling of the dead and fun with knives era of my career. I hope the fast work flow and sounds will allow for a more up beat and aggressive sound like I had back then. Time will tell. I have way better drum production this time. I hope it pays off. I will keep you up to date.

Great to hear things are coming together with your set up. It’s all about work flow. Use the tools you want how you want. Only your imagination should limit you. Can’t wait to hear what’s next.

Just curious, Why are you planning to never make “long” Lps again?
January 9th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Filler sucks. Plus, no help from other members. Less input, less music.

did you ditch the mpc for the emu? how do the dacs compare?

Nice video, the colors and shapes are really eye-catching. I agree about the production being really good on this track, the acoustic guitar sounds gorgeous and full and the electronics and percussion sound clean and individual. Also, this track reminds me of Juno Reactor’s “Conquistador I & II” for its blending of acoustic/folk guitar with trance (but of course, it sounds characteristically VAC in its actual sound). And the toxic coma songs on the Caustic Disco single are engrossing and fun (not to mention that it is enjoyable all around)!

The emu has more color and warmth, the mpc sound like computers, cold and steril and thin.
January 12th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Wow, what a change in set-up. Do you still have your modular?
January 12th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
