This is like seeing a mad scientist in a laboratory! I've ALWAYS enjoyed your music. Your music proves that we live in the golden age of music. In no other time can this kind of music exist. As much as I love classical music for it's traditional approach to music, electronic music is only limited by the human imagination.

Why is classical music always viewed as only traditional? there's more than enough avantgarde/modern pieces being made which are more forward thinking that 99% of electronic music (which is a huge sea of lazyness with some gems such as Vsnares).
Deutsche Grammophon and Nonesuch have some decent neo-classical stuff. If I may co-opt your point, every genre is a sea of mostly turds with a few gems shimmering in the lake of brown. Conversely, every genre has compelling and vital music. Dismiss vast swaths of experience at your own peril.
@Drog .NDTrax The (original) Elektron Machinedrum was manufactured between 2001 and 2003. The brains of his setup is sub-20 years old. I'm not sure that that makes a difference to anything or to anyone, just saying... "Dude can flex a sequencer like nobody's business" should be the takeaway, IMO.
Everything can be hacked and re-purposed. There are countless examples of musicians making an instrument do things "it was not supposed to do". I humbly suggest that imagination--and nothing else--is the limiting factor.
If it wasn't for all the various LEDs blinking in time, I would have assumed the audio was just overdubbed on some crazy video. I can't imagine the hours of noise it took to get to this point. Nice work.
How many hours of planning before any attempts as well? Not to mention how much of the piece was written prior to experimenting? Once you at that level you have a bunch of plans already for the sound etc. usually, but nothing is set in stone :) . And then it has to be recorded and thus performed... amazing!
oh im sure it took awhile, but eurorack is a very very fast workflow. even faster than renoise at times. im sure it still took days per patch but it genuinely doesnt take as much time as youd think!
It'd likely make a looong vid explaining it, tho I bet a few of those machines are doing similar things, just set to diff settings from eachother. I would also like to understand what each machine did... I wonder if you were into synth enough and analyzed the vid enough if you could sus it all out?
Before hearing your music I never cared about electronic at all, oddly enough it was just recalling your moniker/name from an online article that made me seek your music out to hear it for the first time, I was probably 14 or 15 and listened to mostly punk/hardcore/metalcore. The first two songs were the most important: Befriend a Child-Killer, and Fuck Toronto Jungle. I knew when I listened to it that most people wouldn't hear the the greatness in the rhythms. Almost like a frequency that's inaudible. After hearing you I found Kid-606, and Cex who is from my state/town Baltimore/MD, and then it was Boards of Canada. My favorite album of yours is Born Under A Bad Star. Song "Szamár Madár", amazing. Also, your music breeds creativity and focus. So often I would put it on while I painted. Thank you Mr. Funke, stay breakin'.
When I first encountered 'Snares I was 16, all friends listened to Rock/Metal and so I did too, listened to Hospitality and it changed my life. Music was never the same and never could be the same. Lifechanging for those with the right (or wrong) type of brain :)
all their gonna see is a big ass machine with a bunch of knobs on it? I don't think this will successfully prove anything at all. he barely even moves through the whole video.
Ohuroboroz well he had to program everything. but then again people who say "hurr electrnc music ez" wont be smart enough to think about that anyways. :D
thanks a lot .. this is so stunning .. your music, for me, is by far the most amazing and i'm grateful that you are (so) active sincerely appreciation ; )
this is so dope.You'll never catch afx or tommy jenks going behind the scene like this....pfffft braindance elitists! ;-) Aaron is a man of the people - thanks bro - Big Respect
I usually don't like a lot of other vsnares' music but this album is amazing because I'm into intricate, atmospheric sounds like this, hence why I like some of Autechre and Aphex Twin
happy to say: I have this on vinyl, and I got the special cd with the outtakes and different versions. exciting time! I want that new speed dealer moms :))
You can feel 5 quarter note pulses but the last quarter note pulse is longer and has 3 eighth notes instead of 2, so you could say it's 5.5/4 but really 11/8.
Blowing that smoke all over your gear! Bad boy! :) So excellent to come back and see this after absorbing the album for a while. Thanks for making fun music!!

So happy I "discovered" your work aron. Beautiful representation of life on this planet. Orderly chaos! Thanks Aaron. Super excited to see you in the years to come as I'm only 19 I'm sure you'll drop a few more things before you/me (god forbid) croak. Seriously thanks your shit is deranged in all the best ways.
this is both beautiful and interesting about the artistic approach/exploration! live album" I'd be absolutely interested to discuss about that process. I'm using machines too. modular. Not comfortable by sampling that and re-assembling it in Live or daw. I love the live record approach. Are you working with all patched, without unpatching, only working on a "song" at a time ? letting that all patched during days ? Can I ask you some questions?
awesome setup. If I could dedicate even more time and money into my own it might someday look like this :D Anyway, thanks for the great tunes, love your new album.
Hope you are doing good my friend, life right now seems peak for me at this age. I know I am living in my best moment now but with that is the anxiety of the unknown future..
+Antonio Brandao too bad the main tracker used now is renoise. They support plugins, which breaks the whole concept of 'everything is in this file'. You have the file, you can play it, because all is in the file. Now with renoise you can't becuase you are missing plugin X, Y and Z.
+Tom Behets LOL almost forgot those, they were always so sad like making emotional manipulation to make us keep making music :D or playing snake of course. Such awesome software

It's times like this where I wish I understood just exactly what all these machines did, but you've made something that's beautiful for the ears.
It'd likely make a looong vid explaining it, tho I bet a few of those machines are doing similar things, just set to diff settings from eachother. I would also like to understand what each machine did... I wonder if you were into synth enough and analyzed the vid enough if you could sus it all out?
Awesome that he got so much analog equipment to sync up with a tracker.

You might like Hrvatski aka Keith Fullerton Whitman. Hrvatski was his breakcore stuff but he does a lot of synth stuff
@@followtheciaence Good recommendation : ) Hrvatski gets off-track sometimes, but the good stuff is REAL good
So funny I just checked a video from you yesterday, commenting that I came back in the late 90’s hearing your jam… And here you are :)
When I first encountered 'Snares I was 16, all friends listened to Rock/Metal and so I did too, listened to Hospitality and it changed my life. Music was never the same and never could be the same.

if someone comes with the "lol electronic music is just pressing buttons on a pc lol" send them this.

yeah that's what I'm saying... don't get me wrong this is fucking awesome but it still looks like a bunch of button pushing!
BUT ITS MORE BUTTONS!!!
Spastmatiker and knobs, never forget the knobs!
From beginning to end. This album never gets tired! NEVER!
This is the definition of why i enjoy electronic music.unbelievable talent
love how the drums sounds like a drum machine but at the same time it has that crazy venetian snares feel with the rolls and unusual fills and stuff
this is the best electronic live performance i'll probably ever see. i'm fully energized.
Damn those dreamy bleeps at 1:00 are great. This song sent my mind on a journey!
A very natural sounding 11/8 beat.
i don't think i fully understand how this is possible.
Yeah that's what attracted me to it in the beginning how did he arrive at this
It is one machine passing voltage to another in a creative fashion.
You need to be known by the world, you deserve it! Greetings, Vsnares.
This album is a triumph. I regret not preordering it. Keeping my eyes peeled for your next release.
thanks a lot .. this is so stunning .. your music, for me, is by far the most amazing and i'm grateful that you are (so) active
sincerely appreciation ; )
but what is your electric bill?
He's a jungle/breakcore legend. I think he earns enough to pay his vast electricity bills.
Actually no, look up Thank You For The Consideration by him
who cares :D
If your modular rack is worth 30-40k, are you worried about electrical bills?
@Hugh Jones he lives in Winnipeg so fuck it! Needs all the fookin heat he can get, sorry.
Nice share, and very insane music. Cheers from Mexico.

Always an extreme pleasure. Taco flavored kisses for you Aaron!
Pure & magic, electric perfection, "it's alive, buddy!" :)
I never new more 808 Roland type drum machines would be so effective with breakcore.
This is the album I wanted to hear Aaron make, no lie. Can't wait!
11/8 time signature techno FTW!!!
13/8 actually
Daniel Jacobson maybe it changes, but I’m hearing 11/8, not 13/8
How do you know that o:
As someone really listening to a lot of metalcore I never really.. think of a time signature like that. 13 or 11/8.. why? O:
You can feel 5 quarter note pulses but the last quarter note pulse is longer and has 3 eighth notes instead of 2, so you could say it's 5.5/4 but really 11/8.
This is just simply beautiful (song and the visuals).
Blowing that smoke all over your gear! Bad boy! :) So excellent to come back and see this after absorbing the album for a while. Thanks for making fun music!!
This Album is my favorite and he got it for christmas for me on Vinyl..
just listened to some konnakol / tabla and must say this man is an absolute legend

I'm pretty sure its 13/8 (double tempo) and not 11/8.
you woke my cat up.

Searched this track cuz i kinda missed it and holy crap i was totally unprepared for this
