		+	Boards of Canada Biography by Paul Simpson
		+
		+
		+	[[Boards of Canada]]'s imaginative, heavily copied sound generally consists of midtempo hip-hop beat patterns, grainy samples, and warm, nostalgic synth melodies reminiscent of 1970s nature documentaries and children's television programs. The duo have often utilized outdated analog equipment in order to capture a haunting, time-worn feel, and their intentional use of cryptic titles and subliminal messaging has created a cult mystique to their music and imagery. [[BoC]]'s debut studio album, 1998's ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'', redefined home-listening electronic music, and remains one of the most influential and beloved electronic albums of all time. The darker, more psychedelic ''[[Geogaddi]]'' followed in 2002, and has received nearly as much acclaim. The more streamlined and guitar-based ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]'' appeared in 2005, and nearly a decade passed before the cinematic ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' arrived in 2013. Since then, the reclusive pair have occasionally surfaced with [[Discography#Remixes\|remixes of other artists]] and a [[SxT\|well-received 2019 DJ set]] for [[wikipedia:NTS Radio\|NTS Radio]].

 ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'' returned to the UK Independent Chart Top 20 in February 1999, and after staying around for three weeks it peaked at number 7. Simultaneously the Peel Session single hung around the Top 10 of the Independent Singles Chart for several weeks. [[Boards of Canada]] soon found themselves in demand for remix work and obliged with a handful of mixes for various artists, including the hugely influential Meat Beat Manifesto.

 In the summer of 2004 Mike became a father. His daughter was born during the writing sessions of the band’s third studio album for Warp.
-At the end of 2004 US artist Beck asked [[Boards of Canada]] to remix a song for his upcoming album ‘Guero’. BOC took the vocal lines of his beautifully wistful track ‘Broken Drum’ and created a whole new melody around them, with an epic, heavily layered crescendo. In an interview with Clash Magazine in the spring of 2005, Beck described the remix as ”?my favourite remix I’ve ever had done ? they brought out something that was there but then they just added a whole new dimension. I guess it’s quite an emotional song and they brought out something bittersweet in it that was kinda hippyish, but it doesn’t maim you with saccharin. It kinda gets you right in the chest.”

 In summer 2005 [[Boards of Canada]] completed work on their third album for [[Warp|Warp Records]]. ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]'' was released in October 2005. Described as an ‘epic sci-fi western’, the album is a surprising deviation into 1970’s guitar licks and graceful, summery lysergic melodies. A video was released for the track “Dayvan Cowboy”, featuring a sky-diver falling from space into the ocean then surfing into the sunset at the song’s euphoric climax. This was the first publicly-available video to be released outside the band’s live shows.

 In the mid-eighties, now based near Edinburgh in Scotland, Mike recruited a few friends to form the first of several incarnations of a ‘proper’ band. Marcus Eoin was drafted in, initially as a bass player, but he soon emerged as co-writer and co-conspirator for what the band was later to become. At this point the band had a fairly traditional live set-up; guitars, bass, keyboards, drummer and occasional vocals, but the emphasis was on minimal, atonal electronic songs, a sound that easily stood out amongst the abundance of traditional rock and hair-metal bands the audiences in their local area were used to. The line-up of the group changed frequently, and Marcus was later quoted as saying that they had gone through at least fourteen other musicians during this period, a statistic Mark E. Smith would be proud of.
-During the late 1980’s whilst working on a series of film and photographic projects, the group decided to create a studio of their own. Unrewarding day-jobs funded the purchase of audio gear and a variety of exotic acoustic musical instruments, and with the acquisition of samplers the band began producing do-it-yourself garage demos on their own label ‘Music70’ which they distributed mainly amongst friends. Soon the band was producing cassette EP’s and even entire albums of demo material, some of which have since gone on to become legendary collectors’ items. It was during this period that the name ‘[[Boards of Canada]]’, initially an EP [http://thejakartastory.blogspot.com/2013/05/cipto-junaedy.html cipto junaedy] project title, became the name of the band.

 Around 1990 Mike and Marcus, frustrated by the traditional line-up and the lack of commitment of other band members, started to mould the band’s performances into something altogether more bizarre. Every summer Mike and Marcus collaborated with friends under the name ‘Hexagon Sun’ to throw late-night outdoor parties in the countryside near their studio in Scotland, where bonfires were accompanied by electronic music, processed television themes, films, projections and reversed speech tapes to create an exciting, if slightly threatening, atmosphere. These nights, which the band still occasionally organise to this day, became known as ‘Redmoon’ nights after an early event which was dramatically backdropped by a blood-red full moon.
