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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This was your fault!
This was your mistake!
I try to walk through
This was your fault!
This was your fault!
This was your mistake!
This was your fault!
This was your mistake!
Diggin'
Diggin' a hole through the brick wall
I am diggin' a hole (x3)
Diggin' a hole through the brick wall
I try to exert the full force of my mind
On all the atoms of my body
So that they will mix
And rearrange
And fit exactly exactly all the holes in that wall
I try to walk through it (x2)
I try to walk through (x2)
I try to walk through the wall
Diggin' a hole (x5)
Diggin' a hole through the brick wall
I am making an example of them!
I am punishing the atoms!
I am punishing the atoms
I am making an example of them
An object lesson
A thing

The lyrics of "Punishing2004" by Venetian Snares are obscure and open to interpretation. The song offers a soundscape of aggressive, glitchy and distorted beats, which evoke a sense of chaos and destruction. The phrase "diggin' a hole" is repeated throughout the song, suggesting a desire to penetrate or break through a barrier. The lyrics imply someone who is feeling angry, frustrated, or vengeful, and is taking it out on the wall or the atoms. The lines "This was your fault! This was your mistake!" suggest that the singer blames someone else for a problem or a conflict, and is enacting revenge on them by destroying something.
In the following verses, the singer tries to use the power of their mind to control the atoms of their body and manipulate them to fit the holes in the wall. They declare that they are "punishing the atoms" and making an example of them. The repetition of the words "mix" and "rearrange" signifies the desire to change the composition of things and rearrange them in a new configuration. The chorus is repeated several times, with increasing intensity, as if the singer is trying harder to break through the wall and achieve their goal. Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of frustration and violence, and a desire to overcome obstacles and assert power.
