An electronic musician from Winnipeg, Canada is making an album out of the noises he and his partner make during sex.

Aaron Funk and his girlfriend Rachael Kozak recorded their love-making sessions on mini-disk.

Funk, who normally records under the name Venetian Snares, sampled the noises and turned them into music.

The album, to be called Nymphomatriarch, is due to be released next year.

"People I've played it for don't believe it," Funk told a forthcoming issue of Playboy.

"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.

"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, 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."

Songs completed so far include Hymen Tramp Choir, Pervs, and Blood on the Rope.

I thought essentially this was what the likes of Christina Aguilera was doing in the first place.

Guess the winters are getting longer up in Canada, and not everyone can play ice hockey. ;)

Ask Rachel what she thinks that Funk couldn't make a full-length album from their sessions...

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT!

Saaaaaaaaaaay....anyone here remember Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby"?

[Happygal]

Aaron Funk? You sure they spelled his name properly?

"People I've played it for don't believe it," Funk told a forthcoming issue of Playboy. "They're like: "No, no, no - you've sampled high hats there, I know it."

I would be very intereted in hearing this. Sounds cool. Whether the guyhas talent or not will determine whether it's worth listening to for more than a couple of minutes.

Well Ananova seems to think so, darling, you want to check with them? Quite frankly, the possible variants on his name are not at all promising. ;)

Love, Ivan

"...and not everyone can play ice hockey.;)"

Tough luck for those hosers who can't make a deke for the slot.;^)

He shoots! He scoooores!!!

Another cannonading shot!;^)

Sweet. This is a kick-ass idea and I can't wait to rip off the album on Kazaa!

Heck, just spend a night at your local NoTell Motel (rooms by the hour; paper-thin walls; you want the room for the whole night?!!) and you'll hear more 'music' than you can stand.

Hint: Not all motels in major national chains maintain reasonable properties. Don't automatically trust your corporate travel types to keep you out of hell-holes.

Remember that song Je t'aime? That was a precurser for this, I reckon ;-)

[Argh]

I used to spend a lot of time trying not to hit the goalposts!

[ewing]

How about a potential 'MTV Unplugged' recording session?

Heck, just spend a night at your local NoTell Motel (rooms by the hour; paper-thin walls; you want the room for the whole night?!!) and you'll hear more 'music' than you can stand.

I don't think I want to ask how you came by this knowledge. ;)

"Hold Muh Tweeter Alert"?

Well the line between pop music and pornography was becoming blurred anyway, darling. Makes me glad I listen to classical.

Love, Ivan

Makes me glad I listen to classical.

Well, with a Jerry Springer Opera in the offing, I doubt you'll be safe for long ;-)

[MadIvan]

Well, with a Jerry Springer Opera in the offing, I doubt you'll be safe for long ;-)

True enough, darling - but hopefully the Jerry Springer Opera is going to sink below the waterline. ;)

Love, Ivan
