Happened across this article in one of my magazines ...
some more info on this "unusual" release:

Aaron Funk, who has recorded several CDs on the Planet Mu
label as Venetian Snares, is on the verge of a breakthrough
for electronic funk. Together with his girlfriend, Rachael
Kozak (who performs under the alias Hecate), he is at work
on an album created exclusively from samples recorded during
sex. "People I've played it for don't believe it," says
Funk. "They're like, 'No, no, no - you've sampled high hats
there, I know it.' It's essentially alchemy, shaping sex
into a new form." The couple recorded directly to minidisc
during a European tour and captured the sounds of anal and
oral sex, bondage, caning, spanking and microphone
insertion. Funk says, "It's weird to deconstruct the sounds
of sex. It makes you conscious of a lot of stuff you'd
normally ignore. I remember thinking, Shit, like, oh, that
slap will make a good snare drum. Or, Wow, that was a
freakish set of grunts and moans - I want to make that into
a choir later." So far the duo has completed a few songs -
including Hymen Tramp Choir, Pervs and Blood on
the Rope
- that play with the genres of breakbeat,
ambient and dub. A full-length CD, Nymphomatriarch,
will be released this spring on Hymen Records. "I like to
listen to sex when I'm having sex," Funk says. Soon you can
hear his sex, too.

Anyone know what a "microphone insertion" sounds like? I
suppose it depends where it is. Yeurgh!

AFunk is amazing - can hardly wait for this release. If
these two end up spending the rest of their lives together -
this album is going to gross the hell out of their kids.

VS show tomorrow - I'm so psyched.

hahaha, that is great! but there has to be limitations on
what you can actually do with a sound....
but then again, RDJ did a track from the "sounds" of a rug.

It's amazing the sounds you can get out of the most basic
samples...

i wonder if the sounds are filtered in any way or just
cleverly placed

Hmmm. You can take a waveform and transform it into
literally anything, which kind of defeats the fun. I hope
they are, as you say, cleverly placed.

Then again, remember that matmos Cd with the plastic surgery
samples? That got old pretty fast.
