i think snares is awesome. i think what i like about his tracks are the
tones, the textures and the speed. what's great about snares (as opposed to
a lot of artists, including hardcore or whatever you may call it) is the
intricacy of his music. i listen to snares all the time when friends are
around, most are into it, some are not, but are into other weird music. of
course what's 'scary' is going to be different
to everyone, i personally don't find it scary, maybe a little aggressive...

Subject: [idm] Venetian Snares is too scary
Hello,
I love IDM in many of it's guises, but I find Venetian Snares (& the like)
too scary, too disturbing, too aggressive. Big deal, you might say. But I'm
just wondering where I fell off the "hardcore" wagon. In my youth, I would
be front and centre at shows such as Motorhead, Black Sabbath, and many
other really aggressive acts, loving every minute.
So, for you who enjoy the more hardcore electronica - are you young and
carefree, or forever committed to noize, or enduring it for it's artistic
merit, or what? Another question - if you have various friends over, would
put Venetian Snares on?
Just looking to provoke conversation.
Cheers,
Martin
