Boards of Canada
Boards of Canada are an electro music duo of Scottish brothers (Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin Sandison).
The group has been releasing electronic psychedelia music since the mid-1990s.
“One technique we like is to create entirely new instruments by sampling ourselves performing on real instruments and then destroying the sounds. So we’ll maybe spend days just playing various things, wind instruments, strings, guitars, bass, synths, for hours into the samplers and then feeding those sounds through stacks of destructive hardware and resampling them to make unrecognizable new sounds.” (Boards of Canada, NY Times)
