Joyrex Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Interesting interview, and happy to know he's a Depeche Mode fan. I like his Last Step stuff, and love the faux Penguin Books cover for Sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian trageskin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 i don't like his music so i thought the guy who made it was not interesting. he seems very distant and simple, focused on what's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Seems like a cool dude, but I really don't understand the whole "if I the label didn't ask me to release anything, I'd just keep it for myself/friends"-thing. Why would you do that? You have loads of fans all around the world who keeps buying your stuff, so why not just release it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid1 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Its tough to tell when Aaron is being honest, but that was a nice read. I'd prolly buy him a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line reminded me of Richard when he makes smug comments like that... the dude makes a living selling his music - like he would really keep it all for himself and his friends...

I'm sure when they both started out they really just intended to pass their music around to local friends and stuff. At least until they realized that loads more people actually want to hear it.

That mindset just makes no sense to me. at all. If you had thousands of fans all around the world, why wouldn't you release some new music for them to listen to? Aaron still releases stuff quite often, but Richard seems to have disappeared. I just don't understand why you would do that. You get money, fans get new music. what's not to like? also, the thing about Mike P having to talk Aaron into releasing the Last Step stuff just seems depressing.. again, why WOULDN'T you release it?

Because I don't think he makes it with that intention - it's not an 'album', it's just a bunch of tracks he's making at that moment. Imagine all you do most the year is make lots of music, you wouldn't be thinking about whether what you've produced is worth releasing. It'd probably take someone else listening to it to tell you whether it is worth releasing. Maybe only then does he think, oh yeah I can make an album out of these bunch of tracks. I don't know. I don't think he came across as petulant and defensive like RDJ usually does about this subject. I think they're just conscious of wanting to come across like what they do is in no way made for people to consume. Some of Venetian Snares' music is deeply personal I could understand if he had wanted to not release it and allow it to be dissected and picked apart by people who will always treat the sincerity of music and art with some suspicion. But if I was him I'd want to make loads of different types of albums, a bit like how he has been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffocate Peon Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I keep coming to the same conclusion With all other music stuff happens in front of you, and you enjoy it from afar. Occasionally it reaches forward and tickles your chest. Venetian Snares' music just pierces my skin like nothing else, like it's inside my brain trying to escape. It's an obsession because if I don't return to listen to his music every now and again the shit I've consumed since just piles up and leaves a stain on my demeanor, it needs to be ripped to pieces so I can start afresh.
