BOARDS OF CANADA

I honestly don't care if Boards of Canada release another album. Their output so far has been one million times better than any other artists in the last 20 years and some...

That's enough for me.

And I have been lucky enough to play music with some very cool people.

Hi Polar Sky.

Sorry but for some reason none of my Private messages to you have gone through. I don't know why this is ? I have sent a couple of PM's to another user on this subject and they went through fine.

I am sure I will soon . If anyone can be bothered to send me a PM , I probably will now.

lol

there is no secret weapon. it's just a combination of clever sampling from tapes (brothers themselves admited they use old 4-tracks and tape players) and good keyboards (like roland sh101) that gives them their sound. it's not like there's an 'instant boc' patch on any organ with italian ...

Sorry, I know that this is a very old topic, but other than the Roland SH101/MC202, I have just discovered what the 'secret weapon is 100%. Of course nobody on this forum would be interested in finding out what it is, because they would be right in saying that talent is far more important.

SHUT THAT BIRD UP!

The guitars just sound amazing on this track .

RIP Trish .

Such a sad loss of a wonderful ,creative force .

I was with a friend of mine who is Gary Moore's bass player last night and he is a fan . I also know that Zero 7 are big fans .

Do you know of any professional musicians/band members that like Boards of Canada ? I have a very long list myself ..........

It should be there again now :-

Thanks 747Music .

I don't actually have any time to make full tracks at the moment though , but I would probably be up for tinkering with the sound a bit more to make it more like Boards of Canada .

The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Strung out in heaven.

Here is a very short synth sting that I did in a BOC type style .

At the moment it is missing compression and resampling at a lower bit rate (using old hardware samplers of course), and either a cheap 80's reverb or a bit of tape delay . But I think you guys will get it .

If anybody is ...

This track is so beautiful ! Great video too .
