Bad as in not good or bad as in cool? It was just a board in class thing and now that I look at it again it is smooshed.

I don't know where everyone gets the idea that a grainy picture of the countryside is more 'BoC' than a grainy picture of like I dunno, an 8 track player with a big hexagon around it.

Where did the idea that nature alone is 'BoC' come from? I always thought BoC was about analogue electronic stuff and maths + a bit of nature....

imo, boc experienced outdoors is much more entertaining and enlightening than staring at a wall or a computer screen. i think it probably just has to do with each person's listening patterns or preferences.

Why not just take a grainy picture of a broken down 8-track reel to reel in the middle of a big field..

:lol:

Here's a nice one I just made. Don't know who took the pic, but I had downloaded it at some point in the past.

I've been meaning to post this, but I have no camera up here at school. I did just get a webcam though, so the picture sucks but at least you get the idea! :P

Not really BoC art as such but this is the front sleeve for an compilation out on my netlabel Monday 18th Feb.

'Inspired By Boards Of Canada : A Few New Tunes' (MZYKNi002)

Image

The image is a photo of a photo that was part of a gallery of found images in a bar in Barcelona. Added the no-face smudge to the old fella's visage. The series of compilations will all have the same generic black fade plus an image and text on the front ... a compilation of tracks inspired by Delia Derbyshire comes out the same day. The next two for a June release will be Stanley Kubrick and Spacemen 3.

I admit to being enough of a BoC dork to have someone take this photo of me:

The location just seemed too perfect not to.
