History Music / VenetianSnares

** Possibly overlaps with JustForFun/OneOfUs: There were a few songs on ''Doll, Doll, Doll'' that sampled VideoGame/EarthBound and VideoGame/Fallout2.

* LongTitle: He seems to love these:
** ''Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms''
** ''Winter In the Belly of a Snake''
** ''A Giant Alien Force More Violent And Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine'', which, almost-fittingly, is a 15-minute EpicRocking track.
** ''Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding''
** ''She Began To Cry Tears Of Blood Which Became Little Brick Houses When They Hit The Ground.'' Even the ''song titles'' get in on this!

* DreamTeam: With Daniel Lanois. The two of them even toured for a time, and played live months prior to their album.
** With Hecate, as Nymphomatriarch.
** With Music/{{Autechre}}, as AESVS, for a compilation appearance.
** With [[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers John Frusciante]] and SKM-ETR, as Speed Dealer Moms.

** Perhaps a straighter example is Mercy Funk, from Find Candace, which quoting Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} goes like this: [[note]] "Mercy Funk starts with 8 bars of 11/4 then switches to alternating bars of 5/4 and 13/8 (or 23/8 together) until 2'32". It then holds 5/4 until 3'50", where a single 7/4 bar is followed by 7 bars of the 23/8 plus one 19/8 bar. At 4'23" there follows a sequence of 16 bars of 13/8, 8 bars of 7/4, a cycle of 3 bars of 7/4 and a bar of 15/8 (or 57/8 together), repeated twice, then 7/4 until the end." MindScrew at its best. [[/note]]

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Aaron Funk, obviously.

* LastNoteNightmare: "Hand Throw" is, at first, an abrasive but fun sounding track. Towards the end, the abrasiveness is taken UpToEleven and the track essentially turns into Speedcore.

** Taken UpToEleven on his collaboration album with Speedranch, ''Making Orange Things'', with all of its tracks either being ultra fast and abrasive breakcore/speedcore and/or borderline HarshNoise.

** In even rarer cases, he not only plays it straight, but turns it UpToEleven. Case in point: "Nineteen 1319," A song written in ''13/4'' and ''19/4'' time, '''alternating between the two.'''

* AcceptableTargets: [[InUniverse His hometown]] of Winnipeg.

* HiddenDepths: As proven by ''My Love is a Bulldozer'', Funk has some ''impressive'' singing chops.
* IHaveManyNames: [=Vsnares,=] snares, Snares Man!, [=BeeSnares=], Ventriloquist Snakes, Puff, Last Step and Senetian Vnares.

** On ''Making Orange Things'', he samples the themes to Series/CoronationStreet and Series/SesameStreet, “I’m a Slave 4 U” by Music/BritneySpears, “Too Young To Fall In Love” by Music/MotleyCrue, and Film/HerbieGoesBananas, among others.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding," described by critics as "one of the best albums Music/{{Autechre}} never made."
** He does acid [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant (music, you guys)]] as Last Step.
*** "Filth", which was released under his main alias, is also mainly acid techno and is more abrasive than his Last Step work. The album was a big stylistic change from "Detrimentalist", which [[BrokenBase angered some fans]].
** His collab with Speedranch, bordering on HarshNoise.
* SpeedyTechnoRemake: ''Öngyilkos Vasárnap'', originally ''Gloomy Sunday'', the Hungarian suicide song.
** He also turned the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjnIK_4A2MM "12" sequence]] from ''Series/SesameStreet'' into a breakcore track.

* ContemptibleCover: His album ''Horse and Goat'' had to be sold with a reversible cover, with a close-up of a girl's face on the front and the real cover on the back. The first two manufacturers they went to wouldn't even print it. Not surprising, considering that the cover was done by Trevor Brown, and the label was based in Canada.
** Also from Trevor Brown, the cover to ''Find Candace''.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Pretty much all over the scale, but his breakcore material is never lower than a 10 or 11.
** All the tracks on ''Making Orange Things'' with Speedranch are either extremely hard 11s or [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale are too hard for the entire scale]].

* LastNoteNightmare: "Hand Throw".

** Some songs from ''Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding'' feature samples from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrothers.''

* ConceptAlbum: Most of them are this to some degree.

* StylisticSelfParody: "Plunging Hornets", in which the sampled audio makes fun of his tendencies regarding musical structure.

** ''A Giant Alien Force More Violent And Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine''
