Boards of Canada
I was wondering if tapeop could possibly pick these guys brains about how they record and get some of their sounds? Been listening to these guys for years and sonically, to me at least, they capture something really unique. Anyway I would love to read up on these guys...

i'd be interested in hearing how these guys get thir sounds too, but apparently they are very secretive about their studio techniques.
i really like their work. i'm presuming they run a lot of stuff through plugins and low fi gear for that vintage/far away sound. i'm poretty sure i can hear the effects of tape echo and a korg ms-20 on some of their tracks.

Check out the section "Subliminal messages, symbolism and religion" in the Wikipedia entry for Boards of Canada:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boards_of_Canada
Has anyone picked up on any "cryptic messages,[8] including references to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, occult symbols and numerology amongst others."

I personally think their records sound great. They have a certain aura that sets them apart from most other electronic or semi-electronica type stuff. think that they roll all over bands like Mouse On Mars or Air and would love to know more about their process. Its all about the results for me. A clever process is academic if I don't enjoy hearing the results. Menomena for instance, is interesting to me where some others aren't.

looks like they do a pretty good job of explaining themselves on their websitepandatone wrote:well if we're posting opinions. i would like to *not* see this in tapeop.

The magazine has, you know, multiple pages, so that, you know, a wide variety of material can be printed in it. Kinda cool, you should check it out.pandatone wrote:well if we're posting opinions. i would like to *not* see this in tapeop.

the interview will not only talk about the technical stuff that they are using, which i dont really care about either. what it would hopefully do is enlighten us to their philosophies on the creative process and maybe even give us amusing anectodespandatone wrote:well if we're posting opinions. i would like to *not* see this in tapeop.

shocking! you don't say. i've never seen it. i thought it was pretend.Knights Who Say Neve wrote: The magazine has, you know, multiple pages, so that, you know, a wide variety of material can be printed in it. Kinda cool, you should check it out.
but i never wanted to drop down the free to see if it was real or not.
just saying. i mean. seriously.. BOC? maybe an interview would have been good in '98.. but they are the chemical brothers of IDM now..
just saying. out of so much new music being made.. to pick out BOC just seems weird and.. out of touch.

Kind of like listening to anything that wasn't recorded... ummm... in 2007, right? Nothing to possibly learn from the old stuff from 2005, let alone the 1990s?pandatone wrote:out of touch.
Please continue to let us all know your opinion regarding cutting edge production/bands/trends/party decor. Maybe TapeOp could interview you?
Damn. I am in a shitty mood today. I think that I'll listen to some Boards of Canada and go for a walk.
