I was just listening to this and my mind completely relaxed into a calm, meditative state. It's ethereal.

fun facts:

• 'orphel' and 'ketchler' are among those credited for creating and maintaining the website
• new clear dawn is registered under orphel binuswade
• according to this, orphel released something called 'harp und flaut' (and also hell interface released something called 'How will i know' + magic teens)

my guess is that orphel binuswade is just a pseudonym of mike (and ketchler denify is likely then a pseudonym for marcus)

Odd question but, does anyone know what cassette boards have been known to record on or use? im trying to make a convincing enough copy of Boc Maxima, And I’d like it to be as original as possible without having to wait 15 more years for one to pop up and spending a fortune on. (Possibly could be a BASF chrome maxima II maybe??? I know it’s a long shot.)

"I love you but, I love clitoris

More than I love any literal bean"

About half and half originals and reissues. Twoism, Campfire Headphase, Beautiful Place, and Hi Scores are all reissues. The rest are first presses. Geogaddi and MHTRTC have about the same median value on Discogs, not that I’d ever sell them.

obviously every boards song ranges widely in sound design / patterns from the previous but over the years I've noticed peoples favorite tracks being equally as diverse

which songs do you find yourself after all these years (or weeks if it's from inferno) showing off or revisiting simply vec how different it sounds to the rest of the catalog?

for me Oscar See through red eye stands above all here. it's one of the only songs I can think of that has a true structure of "traditional" songs. beginning middle end in progressive melody evolution with a chorus and such

it's always been my comedown/people pleaser song. it has no stakes in its build and doesn't reprogram your train of thought like a lot of their other songs do

It almost doesnt sound like a Boards of Canada song. I get more Kona Triangles (incredible producers, singing saplings is an epic EP) but still packed with the boards sound design...it's very safe and I love it for that reason

Here's a small altar I created in a Digital Fabrication course. It's made of CnC milled MDF board which I treated with shellac and alcohol ink. There's a led matrix attached to a microcontroller to smoothly transition between those warm, hellish red and orange tones.​ The busts beside it are Asaro heads​, I think they make a nice accompaniment.

Hey guys. Back in May I shared an album of Boards of Canada piano covers I made, called Glyphs. I just wanted to give a quick update on that.

The record has been remastered (or actually, mastered...). When I initially recorded it, I was enjoying working fast and wanted to get it out to the community in that really nice anticipatory window we had waiting for Inferno to come out. The album was made in a two-week window and during that time I was sick with a cold. I also was going on almost a year of chronic sleep deprivation from our new baby.

Since then we've sleep trained the baby (!) and with fresh, rested ears, I could tell that the mixes needed some love. So I've done that and updated the files on my distributor. It takes a while for the new mixes to populate to the various services but I can confirm that they are current on Spotify and my Bandcamp. (If you previously downloaded from Bandcamp, you can re-download to get the new mixes). It's still not updated on youtube music but I anticipate it will be soon.

Also, I want to thank you all for the warm response you gave me. I found this sub a little intimidating when I first joined and was nervous to share but the response was truly kind and thoughtful. It made me really happy.

According to Michael the song is about a guy who is caught in traffic in the middle of the city in bad weather. In his mind he envisions another fantasy self, riding a sports car and sprinting through the highways of wilderness. His fantasies are going on in his mind at the same time, but in the end, he ends up back to his real self, stuck in a rainy city traffic in a dorky car.

THC might be the gold standard for fantasy soundscapes. This song is so shiny.

Listen to Prophecy at 1420 MHz, and then listen to Brooding Tension by Tony Clarke. Tony’s album was released in 2021. Change my mind.

KEXP just played Peacock Tail in honor of his bday.

It reminds me a little of Hans Zimmer, I can really see this being used in a movie. It would be pretty epic. That is all.

I brought to attention the 'Videos' channel and I think there's more. This upload was quietly added to the Boards of Canada - Video Playlist a few months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX6CHy4lsD0&list=PL221B13914A7EF3A2&index=158

The frames in these videos (this is my theory though) seem to correspond the array of screens in the latest music video for 'I Saw Through Platonia'.

I am also making this post because there's actually three songs played in this upload of Davie Addison. I'm forgetting where I've heard the one at the beginning and the one at the end, but if Videos-nu5fc actually is associated, it's exciting to see suggestions of older material surfacing again.

I wasn't able to find this review posted yet of Inferno. The site it's from is also well worth checking out, it's got years of posts that are all about weird 70's culture, horror, sci fi and all sorts of other oddities.

Seemed most appropriate to share here, phenomenal EP for anyone who hasn’t heard it.

Has anyone else seen the short visualizer clips accompanying each track for Inferno on Spotify? (See screenshot attached). If you go to the actual album you can scroll through each one there. I haven't seen any mention of them anywhere, so I thought I'd bring it up here on the reddit.

They are really cool though, so it's a shame they can't be viewed along with the full tracks on BoC's official YouTube channel or something.

Were these used during any of the listening sessions?

One of my favorite tracks on Inferno is “Naraka.” Growing up in India, I heard “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna” everywhere — temples, streets, festivals — so this track hits a strange nostalgic frequency for me. I ended up writing a small poem inspired by it and thought I’d share it here.

I’m on Dharti(earth), supposedly charting a course to Swarga(Heaven), but Naraka(Hell) keeps humming like an old tape that won’t die.

Yama(King of Naraka, Hell) nods from the static, tapping his foot to the distortion, as if to say, “Heaven’s overrated, real Swarga is ==Dharti + Naraka. Besides… it’s way too crowded up here ”

This was a picture taken in Northern California in a local forest reservation. I was doing a photoshoot for two sisters, most of which were smiling portraits but this was a candid one I thought of taking while in a more "hallway" section of the forest. I think this works with Julie and Candy especially with the song's title implying two females (whether or not it is the bad story or the more raunchy one - who knows?). But either way, just decided to use this picture for that song because it likely fit the most.
