Y’all want the new Boards of Canada so bad you crashed Warp’s server

May 29: that’s the date Boards of Canada is back with Inferno. And you must be excited about it, because Bleep is down. But we have a dreamy faux-VHS tape to watch and hear, anyway.

ENDOGEN: a deep experimental exploratorium of lowercase synthesis

Enter an organic sound machine that will take you to an imagined sound world somewhere between a temple garden and a half-awake dream. ENDOGEN is a dazzling tool, built in Max and SuperCollider, that explores notions of lowercase synthesis. There’s a lot to cover as far as what it can do — but you should also feel empowered to play and get lost.

Boards of Canada played in lightbulbs: restored 1959 PDP-1 performance
