Introduce Yourself

[Tehlivingpencil]

I first discovered Boards Of Canada, funnily enough, through the "Youtube Poop" scene (for those who don't know, those are weird edits and/or corruptions of various media - usually videos, but they can be audio as well) - don't ask (I'll give you a hint, though: "poik").

Listening to them in particular, among other Warp artists, was what got me back into properly creating electronic music, and their recent release has particularly revived my interest in analogue (or generally, perhaps intentionally, "old-timey") production, rather than the completely digital style in which I normally produce music - this, by the way, is a revived interest which I have plans to exercise.

More information on that front to come, but for now I say this: Hello, people of the Twoism forum, and the BOC fanbase (or perhaps, as I have observed, it is a LOT more than just a "fanbase"?) in general.

Hello everyone! I'm The-Artist-64, and I've been listening to BoC for about a year or two now. I come from 'Murica and I'm nostalgic for older times.

I discovered Boards of Canada firstly from David Firth's 'Salad Fingers' (I love that series) and secondly through a youtube poop (mentioned by a user above) scene by AwfulFawfultheFalafe. It was only in the latter that I became a fan of Boards of Canada.

My favorite BoC album (it's hard to pick) has to be Music has the Right to Children.

I'm trying to unlock the mystery behind this wonderful band.

Good'ay ladies and germs, I'll see you 'round the forum!

Hey y'all!

I'm new to this type of music, and I really didn't know there was music with so many branches of depth in the electronic field.
I'm loving it though. Have discovered a lot by just lurking in this forum.

I just realised that I've never introduced myself properly here,
Sorry, I do apologize, maybe thats why some people might have felt offended

let me try to make it up now

My name is Agata and I first heard Boards of Canada played to me by someone about two months ago
I liked it, thought it was proper grim.

Then I happened to have gotten involved by accident in one of the threads here
and then it transformed into a story

which is a very important one and its got numbers in it too and Im sure the BOC music would fit
with it well too, definitely positive

So thank you every body, all the good people who let me post things in my thread

Thank you,
Agata

Glad to know that somewhere deep in the ether that you are a Boards of Canada fan.

Well, not sure if a 'fan' is a proper term here
I do like the music but I am not a follower of anyones
if that makes sense,

but I looked up ur page and I must say I very much like that one, well done

Thank you! The video has quite a concept behind it, if I can say. The music is by Kinesthetiac, who goes by the username Synthestesia around these parts.

Don't know if I ever posted in this thread so I will now.
Heya I'm gabe, 18 and from switzerland. I love movies and music - especially the combination of the two.
going to an art school at the moment. erhh, what else. I love boards of canada's lo-fi old tapes/maxima, it has a kind of unique retro feel to it.
I listen to almost anything, from post-rock to psytrance..
oh and I want to lead my career into the amazon of filmmaking.

*waves* ... Hi chronical :}

... okay, my turn...

im 30, im a female and I happen to think that Boards of Canada has some purty songs!

...forever ago,, i was drawing online, with a good friend. I asked him to send me some jungle-type, fairy-ish, tribal music and he sent a bunch of stuff, BoC included. And that's how it all went down... :}

[panic button]

Hello everyone,

I've known about this forum for a while, and so thought I'd take the plunge. I'm a male Geordie, 35, currently exiled in the Far East.

I'm happy to say that my Dad introduced me to BoC c. 2001

It was probably around 2005 that I realised they were my most favoritist band of all time.

[afflicted and conflicted]

Hello all. Greetings.

[DWNGRD]

Hey guys, I'm DWNGRD. I'm 18, a dude, and a college student studying graphic design. I've been reading this forum for maybe 4 years, now. My username is shorthand for The Downgrade Complex, the alias I use to make music under. Still really new. Getting better at it, though.

[The Telepathic Kid]

4 years? do you know all about us?

welcome.

[Hermetech]

Hi I'm Gregg, a UK mastering engineer now based in Milan. My good friend, Instruments of Flight told me about this forum yesterday, and said everyone was very nice on here, and that I should check it it out, and so here I am doing so!

Have loved BoC since MHTRTT came out, and bought everything since. Tomorrow's Harvest was one of the best albums of 2013 for me. Other fave music is Coil, Lee Perry, Fovea Hex, Comus, Steve Hillage, Ishq etc etc etc.

Anyway, I love a good chat and talking music and gear etc., so am looking forward to contributing to the discussions!

All the best,

Gregg

Hey Gregg Thanks for coming on over!!

Gregg mastered my last track Buhne. He does great work and is an all around awesome guy.

Any friend of machinea is just fine by me. Welcome
