Aaron Funk, a Canadian
producer of widely varying electronic music styles, achieved a reputation in
experimental electronic circles upon his signing to
Planet Mu (label run by
Mike Paradinas, aka
µ-Ziq). It's a testament to his production prowess that his base of Winnipeg, Manitoba, hasn't prevented electronic music enthusiasts around the world from investigating his recordings.
Often abbreviated to "Vsnares" – Funk's distinctive style reflects unconventional time signatures and extremely rapid and erratic rhythms. Unpredictable and stimulating, the effect is intense.
Funk's first release was "
Greg Hates Car Culture", an EP for the History Of The Future Label, followed by "
Salt" for Zhark and "
Fuck Canada // Fuck America" with
Stunt Rock for CLFST. When Mike Paradinas heard "
Greg Hates Car Culture", he immediately signed Funk for Planet µ. Prior to this, he self-released material on cassette tape as early as 1992.
The first
Venetian Snares LP on Planet µ "
Making Orange Things" (a co-production with
Speedranch), dropped in early 2001; following in short order were 5 more releases, all released before the end of 2002. Funk continued recording for a variety of labels, including
Hymen,
Addict, and
Sublight Records, and has also recorded as
snares,
Snares Man!,
BeeSnares,
Ventriloquist Snakes,
Puff,
Last Step and
Senetian Vnares.
