Musical Entropy

[jazzy_dave]

Scottish duo Boards Of Canada specialize in the hauntology of music, by creating old-timey and elegiac atmospheres through the use of treatments suggestive of decay, wear and tear and entropy. They use analogue treatments and smudgy textures into an eerie miasma redolent of fading old photographs. Their debut on Warp in 1998, "Music Has The Right To Children"  shows a faded old  photograph on the CD cover with faces bleached out due to exposure to the elements. The music has a similar feel. The track i have chosen from this is "An Eagle In Your Mind". -

They took their name from the nature docs produced by  Canada's National Film Board that they watched as kids

Enjoy.
