I am desperate to know what Boards of Canada did to make this song. I want to learn it on piano but can't find a tutorial anywhere. Anybody have a clue?

As far as my humble ears can hear, for the first 8 bars, they alternate between d7M and B-flat7M chords, then with a sudden modulation to c-sharp7M and B. In terms of structure, they go switching between those two pairs of chords. The instruments seem to be something like an organ and an electric piano under a delay effect, and of course with a heavy dose of tape wow. I hope I've been any help.

sandison has said they rarely used processed effects... ex. putting a mic inside a spinning ice cream machine speaker to create a leslie effect. I've always wondered to what extent they keep to that.. especially with delay [/u]

They 100% use a ton of processed effects. Probably mostly analogue obviously, but yeah, you don't get that kind of sound without a shit ton of outboards at your disposal. Almost every track they have ever produced has so much stuff going in the reverb/delay/compression/EQ department on almost every level.

this track is so fu*king crazy, it gave me a feeling like sounds were eating each other and because of that I could feel lack of space, claustrophobia
