2012 release from this side project from Aaron Funk AKA Venetian Snares. Sleep is a collection of compositions that Funk recorded quite literally as he was falling asleep. For those used to Funk's more abrasive recordings, the slower, woozy tempos and soporific atmospheres may come as a surprise. Recorded using his own arsenal of analog synths and sequencers, he exploited the wandering timing and pitch of these old beasts to produce uncanny and evocative detuning effects which add to the induced torpor. So, while the atmosphere may be unsettling in places, the tempos and structures are those of an experimental house music album, with abstracted 303 acid lines and classic drum machines acting as a welcome familiarity for the listener to navigate the odd time-signatures and plastic aural sensations of Last Step's hypnagogic world.
