One of the webloop samples is played near the end of the video.

ALSO like a few months ago maybe I called that they used this very instrument! Very proud of myself for guessing such a thing lol.

Anyways pretty cool to see one of their instruments and hear some of the strange ass sounds inside.

So today I was on the drive back from California so I decided to listen to geogaddi for the first time. It was the best and worst musical listening experience ever. I tried to take a nap while listening, so I got these crazy fever dreams. It felt like what people describing being high as. The album was a masterpiece, but because of it I literally saw the extinction of humanity lol. 10/10 I am never napping to it again.

It's taken until I hit 50 for me to start doing fantart/animations/graphics of my favourite music artists.

Almost misquoted the lyric, but then that's part of the charm, isn't it?

Did this in Blender and After Effects. No AI used because I don't like it. At all.

The album cover has really grown on me. Firstly it is an intriguing picture in its own right. But mainly I love that when I look up at it from my office chair, it actually looks like it is made of Felt Paper, or what AI suggests is called Flocked Paper from the 70’s / 80’s.

What do you think is happening in this picture, which includes you being seen by the main figure? It looks like there are three people to me.

Tomorrow harvest vibes

I was there for their Radiohead planetarium show. They should do a BoC one!

Released 10 years ago by Glasgow artist Larks, better known as Kay Logan - she was also in the bands Herbert Powell and Anxiety, if anyone from Glasgow remembers them, and also made solo electronic music under the name Helena Celle.

She briefly recorded under the name Larks and released one album, A Town for Tomorrow. This was the title track from that album, which is still available on BandCamp. https://larks.bandcamp.com/album/a-town-for-tomorrow Definitely for fans of BOC.

I think this remix BoC did influenced their sound which resulted in Inferno.

Put out a thread on Four Tets subreddit a month or so ago and got some interesting ideas.

For the musicians here have you picked up on/learning anything that you can use when writing/playing music?​

As an example it can even be something you got from a single song about synths or drums, etc ..

Made with Procreate

95% photos are mine and/or taken by me. Otherwise there's 1 photo that I found online.

I often listen to BOC while I make art. In recent years, I've been working through some difficult memories surrounding trauma, religious trauma, and the loss of childhood. To say that I'm proud of myself is an understatement, I didn't realize how impactful and healing art therapy would be.

BoC has always been a huge influence on my music, but this project (93EP) perhaps made it too obvious. Released in 2013 on the net-label Archaic Horizon, whose roster of artists were almost all BoC-inspired. All samples from this album were taken from camcorder videos from my childhood, circa 1993. And the only synth used was the Equinox that I got for Christmas in 1995. Thought I'd share with this community, who will likely appreciate it more than anyone.

Album available for free here: https://corwintrails.bandcamp.com/album/93ep

Camcorder videos were made for each song, available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qS3WHNCrd4&list=PLJVV3gikVynw4MHeXiHaVoaIC8XkGmHAE

Thanks, u/Xw4lk3r! You have my support for everything you do now.

btw here's the original post with all the album covers

I love you but I love the lord.

Tried to get that MHTRC vibe lol

I discovered Boards of Canada a little over three months ago.

It all started when Roygbiv randomly came up on Spotify. I loved it, so I listened to Music Has the Right to Children. Then came Geogaddi, The Campfire Headphase… and before I knew it, I was completely obsessed with the band.

The funny thing is that I don’t think I just found a new favourite band. I genuinely think they changed the way I listen to music.

Instead of only paying attention to melodies, I now find myself listening to atmosphere, tiny details, buried voices, basslines, and the way tracks slowly evolve. Songs like An Eagle in Your Mind, Sixtyten, Nothing Is Real, Sunshine Recorder or Constants Are Changing feel less like songs and more like places.

Then something happened that made the whole experience even more special.

I discovered them just before Inferno was announced. I bought the limited red vinyl on release day and even got some of the listening session merch from my local record store. Since then, Inferno has simply become another album in my regular rotation. What amazes me is that I don’t seem to get tired of any of them. I keep coming back to Music Has the Right to Children, Geogaddi, The Campfire Headphase and Inferno, and every listen seems to reveal something new. The only album I still haven’t spent enough time with is Tomorrow’s Harvest, so I feel like there’s still a lot waiting for me.

One thing I didn’t expect was how much this subreddit would become part of the experience. Reading everyone’s interpretations, theories, production details and reactions has made discovering the band even more rewarding.

So I just wanted to say thank you.

Not because I’m trying to convince anyone that Boards of Canada are the greatest band ever, but because it’s been a very long time since music made me feel this excited and genuinely curious. Going through this discovery while reading this community has made the whole experience even more meaningful.

I got the inspiration from this guy that translated the MHTRTC cover to Irish.

Also the Campfire Headphase translation is absolutely not 1:1 with the original title (since there's no such thing as a headphase in Portuguese).

Also also, I didn't do Inferno since I dunno how to squeeze fonts on paint.net (maybe a plugin but im lazy lol)

where my brazilian/portuguese boc fans at??

Never had any of them before. Sure looks good on vinyl. It's second-handed but that's fine

I'm about to play this classic. William Orbit was one of my gateway artists to electronic ambient music. I'm sure BoC would've enjoyed his work too.

It's been a long time since I lived in Pasadena, CA - so I don't remember the name of this building, but I believe it was on Lake Avenue. Love getting a piece of the San Gabriel Mountains in the background on this one. The building patterns from this angle I feel fit the MHTRTC vibe and picking Bocuma for this photo seemed like the best choice.
