Find Candace

Released in 2003 on Hymen Records, Find Candace serves as the thematic and sonic successor to Venetian Snares' landmark 'Doll Doll Doll'. This album completes the 'doll sequence,' a conceptual arc that explores themes of childhood trauma, neglect, and the uncanny horror of inanimate objects. Aaron Funk utilizes a high-precision approach to breakcore, utilizing complex time signatures and granular synthesis to create a sound that is both industrial and organic. The recording is notable for its use of orchestral samples - particularly strings - which are manipulated to sound like they are weeping or decaying. Critically, it is regarded as one of the most intense entries in the Venetian Snares catalog, bridging the gap between the raw aggression of his early work and the more refined, classical-influenced compositions of his later years. It is a pivotal release in the breakcore genre, cementing Funk's reputation as its most technically proficient and conceptually daring practitioner.
