In this case thereвЂ™s a deliberate VHS video-nasty element throughout the record and to get there it wasnвЂ™t just a case of processing sounds through old media, which is a given with us anyway, but we even went to the extent of timing changes in the music and the composition of the pieces, in really specific ways to give an impression of something familiar from soundtrack work that was around 30 years ago.ДЇor example, I guess the timing of the whole intro section to the album, the neutral tension in the high strings hanging right at the start of the record, or that short glimmer of hope that takes over in New Seeds near the end of the track. In fact itвЂ™s not just the time period вЂ“ we analyse the specific medium weвЂ™re going for too. The challenge with this record was crafting the tunes into a specific style and time period we want to reference. We often jam something down quickly and you tend to find those things are the ones with a great instant melody. HereвЂ™s some important clues from and interview with Mike Sandison for the TomorrowвЂ™s Harvest release: Their studio in the UK is called Hexagon Sun and is rumored to be somewhere in the Pentland hills.

It has to hook them before they continue making a full song out of it. IвЂ™ve read that they listen to their own music and sounds over and over again to get the feel of a tune before continuing with it.

I would like to then take these gems of knowledge with me into my own music so I can have a flavor of theirs within mine while keeping mine unique. My aim here is not to make a BoC do-it-yourself guide, but because I like their music, I want to understand how they thought about it before they made it and what they did to make it.

I talk a lot about replicating their music, but it is not that I want to replicate it and sell it (or even make it), but more so I can understand it. Let me know if anything is wrong or if you want to add to it. So excuse the disorganization and possible misinformation, please. I just would like to share everything I learn with you in case you have the same interest.

It may seem a bit unorganized (it is), but this is a work in progress and as much of a reference for me as I hope it is for you. Here are what I think I have learned so far (I will continue to add to this page as I learn more). Boards of Canada is a personal favoriteВ band of mine and I have studied their music with the aim of learning how they achieved their distinctive sound.
