Nymphomatriarch 12" (Hecate & Venetian Snares)

The collaboration of Rachael Kozak (Hecate) and Aaron Funk (Venetian Snares)!

from the press release:

all pieces were assembled in winnipeg, canada by aaron funk and rachael kozak. may 1st - may 13th 2002. every sound was synthesized from their privately recorded debaucharies committed while on tour in london [england], paris [france], basel [switzerland], antwerp [belgium] and winnipeg [canada]

hecate’s rachael kozak has a thing with collaborations. she paired up earlier this year with lustmord’s brian williams on law of the battle of conquest, a visceral, percussive revision of lustmord’s drone aesthetic. now she’s shacking up with venetian snares’ aaron funk. literally. nymphomatriarch, a joint project between venetian snares and hecate, is 100% composed of sounds the duo made having sex together. - but it’s not porno music. nymphomatriarch is cutting-edge drill beats and raucous noise that puts your ears in a vice. the tempestuous breaks venetian snares is known for spiral down to the very pits of hell and back thanks to hecate’s visceral atmospheric treatments, returning as mordant sound meant to corrode the soul.

nymphomatriarch bristles with the crisp signature of traditional breakcore dynamics, yet unlike many albums in the genre, nymphomatriarch retains a sense of complex ambient sound and depth throughout its six tracks - this isn’t just another manic break record composed entirely on a hard drive. in other words, it’s everything you’d expect from a collaboration between venetian snares and hecate. nymphomatriarch just happens to be made from sex sounds.
