A Boards of Canada fanzine (print) - seeking contributors

Post by aseagullinyourmind »

Hi fellow Boccers,

I am in the initial stages of planning an A5 print fanzine on our favourite pair of Scottish brothers. To my knowledge, I don't think there has ever been a dedicated print fanzine to BoC alone, and being hugely interested in fanzine culture, I thought it was high time to change that.

But - I can't do it on my own, so this is where you come in. I am seeking writers who would be interested in contributing an article or essay around a particular area of BoC related subject matter. I'm seeking interesting and slightly 'different' pieces for inclusion - perhaps you have an idea for a piece of writing? I am also seeking artists and photographers who are influenced by the BoC aesthetic who may wish to get their craft out to a wider audience. The zine will be designed in line with the aesthetic we all know and love, printed in full colour on great paper. I already have a print company lined up. The zine will look and feel great and will be of high quality. It will be made in the UK but will distribute worldwide.

You don't need any publishing credentials or to have previously published work. I am open to contributions from the whole fan community. So if you are a writer, an artist or photographer who is keen to get on board, then please drop me a PM with your thoughts on what you could offer and a brief outline of what you intend to write about etc.

I would like this project to be a communal project, so I am reaching out to the Twoism community in the hope they can bring this little dream of mine to fruition. I look forward to hearing from you :)

Cool idea. If anything maybe I could contribute an article on SxT if I can get my ass to start writing.

Thanks for the interest guys! And for those of you who have DMed me I will get back to each of you in time. Certainly got plenty of people interested in offering artwork or photos. Where are the writers at?

If only I had - still reaching out for writers! So many people on here with so many things to say about Boards of Canada but no one willing to put pen to paper?

Ok so this is now gathering some nice momentum but I’m stilll seeking contributors for writing. Seeing as so many people spend time speculating on a new release, perhaps they could write something interesting for the community?

You should get a tape going also. Would love to submit some of my most boards of canada sounding tunes.
