Bleep

Pioneering gear freak Aaron Funk acts under his cherished Venetian Snares guise and fires up the machines for the retro inspired Traditional Synthesizer Music LP on Timesig. Constructed and performed live solely through on a modular synthesizer, Funk embraces the fortuitous sonic encounters created through frantic patching and infuses them into his hallmark hyperactive breakcore sound. The rabid rhythmic divisions of opener ‘Dreamt Person V3’ act as the perfect introduction of the more liquid flow of ‘Everything About You Is Special’, moving into the clumpier fragmentation of ‘Slightly Bend Fork Tong V2’ and the churning acidic fidget on ‘Magnificent Stumble V2’. Although, despite its purist electronic music aesthetic, Funk manages to entwine a humanist element, achieved through the use of lush melodic swathes and mingling in chance, haphazard quirks within the acutely detailed production resulting in a piece that’ll only reveal its finest details on repeated listens.
