Venetian Snares

Inspired by a trip to Hungary while on European tour, Aaron found himself on the Királyi Palota (Budapest's Royal Palace) imagining himself as a pigeon. This somewhat unlikely scenario was an epiphany for Funk, inspiring some of his most heartfelt work to date. The baroque strings and eastern European melodies were the starting point for these compositions, with Aaron's trademark jungle rhythms added only later as accents to increase the intensity. For this record Aaron learned the trumpet and electric violin which both feature prominently.
