Link: What the hell is up with Boards of Canada?
Excerpts:
- "I do actually believe that there are powers
in music that are almost supernatural. I think you actually manipulate
people with music, and that is definitely what we are trying to do.
People go on about hypnotizing people with music, or subliminal
messages, and we have dabbled in that intentionally. Sometimes that’s
just a bit of a private joke, just to see what we can sneak into the
tracks."-- Marcus Eoin in an interview
- The use of the Golden Ration to space moments in tracks, write melodies, and tune frequencies (citation).
- Geogaddi has a song called "You Could Feel the Sky."
About two minutes and 10 seconds into it, you hear a
voice very faintly. This voice, now, you can't really
understand it because it's obviously played backwards.
Being the curious fucker I am, I went and got GoldWave
out and reversed it. It has a man saying "A God With
Hooves." Huh...this got me wondering for a second, but
it actually explained the dark undertones of the song
itself. Well, lets look at the CD play length, 66:06.
Looking at this, it's the closest thing to 666 you can
get when using normal Hour:Minute:Second layout.
Looking at the cover, you see six figures in a hexagon
format. Plus, on the CD is the song "1969."If you reverse 1969 the vocoded voice says "David Koresh"
1969 was the year that the use of CS gas was banned by the US government
against foreign enemies. The same kind of gas used in the Waco massacre. (also 1969 is when the Church of Satan was founded, and when the Manson murders occured).- The overall filesize of the album Geogaddi when viewed as WAV files is 666MB.
