MY DOWNFALL
Every single music critic has branded My Downfall as a companion piece to VenetianSnares' 2005 release Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett. Technically, this is correct but it doesn't really do much to aptly describe the album either.
Ever since his 2001 album Songs About My Cats, Aaron has been using the kind of operatic and avant-garde tones found in this particular release. The artist obviously has a deep-rooted interest in modernist music, and in My Downfall this resonates more than anything else.
I do not mean to sound snobbish, but I think that many of the fans do not recognize these elements and subtleties, so much that when My Downfall came out, it was immediatly percieved as "soft" or "too classical". You really have to know a bit about ...
Aaron's follow-up to Songs About My Cats.
Doll Doll Doll is the third album that VenetianSnares released in 2001. Considering his Printf album under the Isolate Records label, this is the man's fourth album.
Songs About My Cats was a 14-track masterwork and the artist's first John Cage-esque exploration in sound. You could say that Doll Doll Doll fits somewhere in between the best moments of Making Orange Things (Planet Mu, 2001) and Songs About My Cats, while exhibiting some new ideas.
D.D.D is an uncompromising serving of gabber / breakcore. Do not let that "genre tag" fool you; this album is extremely good. If you are familiar with VenetianSnares, you will know what I mean. If not, simply put: V. Snares is not your average electronica. Aaron Funk is one the most important voices on the experimental electronica scene.

2001 was a significant year for VenetianSnares.
He would release a total of 3 albums under Planet Mu and Hymen Records.
After a string of self-released cassettes back in 1998, Aaron Funk would give birth to his first oeuvre Printf("shiver in eternal darkness/n") under Isolate Records in 2000. This would be a typical gabber release. Nothing terribly inventive... still worth a mention though.
This would very much lead him into a collaboration with UK gabber artist Speedranch in 2001, with his highly disturbing Making Orange Things (Planet Mu). Although, M.O.T isn't a particularly skilful oeuvre, it does however contains some distinctive VenetianSnares-esque moments; very satisfying ones too.
Then, Songs About my Cats came out.
S.A.M.C is a hugely important release by Aaron. It showcases the full-blown genius of Aaron Funk ...
