Much like its predecessor, \u003ci\u003eBones\u003c\/i\u003e manages to make the most of the possibilities modular systems offer, whilst avoiding their many pitfalls that can often turn such music into little more than a dry academic exercise. Indeed \u003ci\u003eBones\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkably intimate album, written and recorded in the time following his father's death, and reflects this intense period of personal change in Joseph's life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timesig","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50405102584139,"sku":"1065926","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50405104353611,"sku":"1065927","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/60e2adf8-6e1e-4488-af5c-16bc25b1c096_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726573734"},{"product_id":"greg-hates-car-culture-20th-anniversary-edition","title":"Greg Hates Car Culture (20th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGreg Hates Car Culture\u003c\/i\u003e was Venetian Snares' first ever vinyl release. Long out of print, it came out in 1999, as the third release on Minneapolis label History Of The Future. Aaron Funk's hallmarks were there from the start. His absurdist sense of humour, the razor sharp edits and his use of odd time-signatures. There is a rawness here, not often captured on later records, where you can imagine Aaron playing live in front of a room full of young breakcore fanatics. Indeed most of the tracks here were recorded live, tweaking his effects and EQ on the fly, to DAT from his Amiga. The album opens with \u003ci\u003ePersonal Discourse\u003c\/i\u003e, recorded in 1997, which samples Aaron calling into a Dominatrix live on community cable TV, while \u003ci\u003eFuck A Stranger In The Ass\u003c\/i\u003e samples from the film The Big Lebowski.

Featuring 16 tracks of beautiful yet unsettling electronic music recorded exclusively on a Eurorack Modular synth, 'System' will be released on August 19th via Venetian Snares' Timesig imprint. Speaking about the album Fraioli said, \"I've spent much of the past decade building up my own sound design company, Jafbox Sound, and in recent years have become fascinated by modular synths. I'd been making a series of performance videos, showing how they work and that inspired me to start making music as Datach'i again. I suddenly realized I had a growing collection of tracks that worked together and had something new to say. Aaron heard some of them and encouraged me to start thinking of them in terms of an album and here we are.\" Venetian Snares says of the album \"Joseph's special take on live modular production has had me really excited this past year. There are so many great tracks, it was nearly impossible to compile this album. I'm tickled he agreed to release them with Timesig!\" The first non-VSnares-related release on Timesig, 'System' will be available on double vinyl, CD and digital download. Those who pre-order the physical release via the Planet Mu website will also receive a bonus CD featuring 19 more tracks recorded around the same time as 'System'. In addition Timesig and Datach'i have partnered with TipTop Audio and everyone who pre-orders the album will also be entered into a draw to win a Z3000 Smart VCO oscillator and 'Happy Ending' kit, the perfect introduction to building your own modular system. Having released 6 albums between 1999 and 2006 on labels including Planet Mu and Sublight, Fraioli has spent the past ten years running award-winning sound design company, Jafbox Sound, where his productions for film, TV and adverts have been recognized by the likes of the Cannes Film Festival and the CLIO Awards. In 2014, Fraioli also joined forces with Interpol's Daniel Kessler, forming 'Big Noble.' Their freshman release entitled, 'First Light,\" combined Fraioli's approach to sound design with Kessler's guitar work to create cinematic, ambient soundscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timesig","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50494003151179,"sku":"404489","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e746a2a3-e18f-4fbf-8ae8-590dea171b71_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727702596"},{"product_id":"venetian-snares-x-daniel-lanois","title":"Venetian Snares x Daniel Lanois","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo collaboration is unlikely when the end goals are the same. A meeting of two artists who illustrate different corners of the musical landscape, come together to create a new statement that takes their collective strengths to higher elevations and encompasses new terrains. So it is on the first collaborative journey of Canadian musicians Venetian Snares and Daniel Lanois. What started as mutual respect for one another’s work, led to several years of a creative germination resulting in an eight-track full-length exploration released on Timesig \/ Planet Mu. The path began in 2014, after Lanois reached out to Venetian Snares (Aaron Funk) as a fan of his work. The project started to take root in Summer of 2016, after Funk hung around Toronto between shows. Taking his gear to Lanois’ studio, the two began to play for the first time together in what would prove to be a formative moment in their creative journey together. Recorded live in a former Buddhist temple-turned-studio in Toronto, \u003ci\u003eVenetian Snares x Daniel Lanois\u003c\/i\u003e travels to new zones in what Lanois describes as “a body of work driven by exploration”. Like all the best collaborations, it's brought something new out of both musicians. Equipped with their production acuity, they let their natural workflow guide them through uncharted waters. Funk laid the groundwork with drums while Lanois rode the pedal steel, weaving their sounds together in a new sonic tapestry. The two ultimately landed at their destination, their work ready to be shared with those willing to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Limited Magenta Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timesig","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50497643282763,"sku":"1029668","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497643807051,"sku":"1029667","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/59bdc38b-77c4-43f7-83c8-14fa491ab7eb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727729377"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_882a897f_thumbnail_4096_84ab01f5-4edc-46af-86e2-e092cfeea0f6.jpg?v=1726573702","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/timesig.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
