Timeline

1975

Aaron Funk (born January 11, 1975), known as Venetian Snares, is a Canadian electronic musician based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

He is widely known for innovating and popularising the breakcore genre, and is one of the most recognisable artists to be signed to Planet Mu, an experimental electronic music label.

His signature style involves meticulously complex drums, eclectic use of samples, and odd time signatures, in particular,.

1990

He would self-release several cassettes during the 1990s, releasing his first three studio albums Spells, Subvert! and Rorschach Stuffocate all on cassette.

1992

Funk began producing music at least as early as 1992, when he was experimenting with several 'ghetto blasters': I'd use a bunch of ghetto blasters playing all at once to play different sounds I'd recorded with some shitty ghetto blaster.

Most of my sources I'd get riding around on my bicycle and just listening for interesting sounds.

I'd use garbage bins and streetlights and anything else I could find that was hollow or metallic to bang out rhythms on.

Then I'd set up all the ghettos and record them all playing into that same ghetto blaster.

Then I'd play a bunch of those tapes all at the same time and record that and so on.

Then I would do cut-ups or pause-ups of those tapes to create a more startling rhythmic effect.

A strange ritual in retrospect.

I somehow came across this looping delay pedal that would hold a 2 second sample.

This pedal coupled with the ghetto blaster experiments really changed my life.

Funk then got an Amiga 500 computer, where he initially produced music through a music tracker, OctaMED.

He formed the name 'Venetian Snares' after '...writing a track with really fast snare rolls that sounded like scraping a stick across a grate or running a pencil down venetian blinds in a distracted classroom'.

1999

He released the 1999 12-inch EP, Greg Hates Car Culture, followed by a split album with Stunt Rock, Fuck Canada // Fuck America, and more EPs in the next year 2000, including Salt, 7 sevens.med, Shitfuckers!, and his fourth studio album, printf("shiver in eternal darkness/n");. Funk then moved to using a PC sometime before 2000, producing music in MED Soundstudio, a Windows port of OctaMED.

2001

After hearing Greg Hates Car Culture while browsing a Minneapolis record store, Mike Paradinas (also known as μ-Ziq) immediately signed Funk on to his record label Planet Mu, leading to three releases for the label in 2001, a collaboration album with Speedranch, Making Orange Things, a 7-inch EP, Defluxion, and a full-length album, Songs About My Cats.

In addition, he also released Doll Doll Doll, as well as split 12-inch with Cex and a raggacore 7-inch as Snares Man!, all in the same year.

The Snares Man!

7-inch has been cited as influential in the development of raggacore.

Live At WTW 07 (AKA Return Of The Snare) - June 15, 2001 was released in 2013.

2002

The following year, 2002, Funk released three full-length albums, Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972–2006, 2370894 (under Vsnares), and Winter in the Belly of a Snake, plus a 15-minute limited edition EP, A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine.

2003

2003 saw the release of The Chocolate Wheelchair Album, Find Candace, a 7-inch EP Badminton, two split 7-inch EPs, one with Fanny under BeeSnares, and the other with Phantomsmasher, and an experimental collaboration album with Hecate, Nymphomatriarch.

2004

Following 2004, Funk released Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding; three EPs, Horse And Goat, Infolepsy, and Moonglow/This Bitter Earth; and a remix of Doormouse's Skelechairs.

During this time period, Funk started using Cubase next to MED.

2005

His 2005 release Rossz Csillag Alatt Született combined breakbeats with orchestral samples, and was released to critical acclaim, helping bring the artist and genre into popularity within the experimental electronic music community.

Funk is a very prolific musician, often releasing several records each year, sometimes on several different record labels, including Planet Mu, Hymen, Sublight, and his own imprint Timesig, and also under different aliases, including Last Step, Snares Man!, Snares, and Speed Dealer Moms.

He has also explored other electronic genres such as glitch, IDM, modern classical and acid techno.

Funk first released in 2005 his tribute album to his hometown, Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole, before releasing Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, an album inspired by Funk's recent Hungary trip that combines fast breakbeats with classical strings and trumpets, to critical acclaim.

'Tiny Mix Tapes called it Funk's "...most accomplished album to date", describing the album as "... of uncouth beauty that is at once sublime, timeless, cinematic, sporadic, and moving from start to finish for the uppity junglist or the CBC Radio 1 listener in your family".

At the same year, Funk has also released another album, Meathole, and debuted under his new acid-oriented alias, Last Step, in You're a Nice Girl.

In the later years, Funk's amount of releases would decrease to at least one each year, compared to as many as six earlier before.
