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.
Hajnal
Venetian Snares Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
English translaton: Dawn
The lyrics to Venetian Snares' song Hajnal are actually instrumental, meaning there are no words to interpret. However, the music itself is highly intricate and interesting, composed of intense electronic beats and melodies that create a sense of chaos and urgency. The title of the song, Hajnal, is Hungarian for "dawn," which might suggest a theme of renewal and rebirth, or the start of a new day.
Despite the lack of lyrics, it's clear that the music of Hajnal is highly emotive and evocative. The track builds in intensity, with layers of sound piling on top of each other to create a sense of frenzied energy. At the same time, there are moments of stillness and quiet, which serve to heighten the impact of the more intense sections. Ultimately, the track seems to be a meditation on the power of music itself to express complex emotions in the absence of words.
