DESCRIPTION:
Venetian Snares is the performing name of Aaron Funk, an electronic music producer and performer from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is known for making experimental IDM, breakcore and glitchcore often in odd numbered time signatures, and for his prolific recordings, having released records on the History of the Future, Isolate/DySLeXiC ResPonSe, Addict, Zod, Distort, Sublight, Low-Res, Planet Mu and Hymen record labels. Musical influences include funk, free jazz, metal, gabber and symphonies.
Reactions to Venetian Snares' music are diverse. It may prove too erratic for many of those familiar with only popular music, however his music remains very popular within the global breakcore scene. His style has been critically acclaimed, notably by the late British radio disc jockey John Peel. Venetian Snares' 2005 album Rossz csillag alatt született has sold over 15,000 copies,[2] and Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers has cited Venetian Snares as his personal pick for "best new artist."[3]
Past interviews with Funk have pointed out his early interest in punk rock and death metal, and he draws from these genres heavily in his approach to music. Much of his work is a reaction to the often repetitive, confined, and streamlined tendencies of rave music and drum and bass, similar to the way in which punk rock musicians challenged established musical trends in the aftermath of arena rock.
