New Old Boards of Canada, Machinedrum Restoration

Machinedrum has taken an unreleased AUD-sourced track from Boards of Canada’s performance at Warp’s 10th Anniversary show — that’s the original low-fidelity recording via YouTube up top there — and …

Since I am a huge nerd I decided to take this bootleg recording and re-produce it for fun. Using the recording I laid new drums over the existing drum patterns (almost 100% accurate to original), replayed some synth parts and the bassline. The only thing I didn’t try to re-create was the original vocoder parts and some random samples so I used the original bootleg recording for that. I was tempted to make a shorter 4-5 minute version but I figured I should preserve the original piece in its intended length.

It is excellent. Get the whole story at Self-Titled.
