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.

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.
