My So-Called Life (Venetian Snares album)

My So-Called Life is an IDM album by Venetian Snares. It is a collection of tracks each made in a matter of days, which Funk considers more of "a collection of short stories than a novel... diary entries."[1] It was the first release on Funk's new record label, Timesig, but was distributed through Planet Mu.[2] The cover artwork entitled "Második Galamb" was painted by Christopher Umana.[3]
