Funnel Weaver is the seventh studio album by Buckethead. The album is very different from his previous works in that it is made up by 49 very short tracks, primarily consisting of samples and drum machine loops with heavy metal guitar riffs and noodling laid on top. The album features no original vocal performances of any kind, but some voice samples are scattered through the album. Funnel Weaver has been described as "a collection of intro tracks," reminiscent of the Slaughter Zone section of Bucketheadland.

  • Some song titles refer to movies such as The Hills Have Eyes and The Other Side of Midnight.
