This is Hexagon Sun: A Video on Boards of Canada

In our November 2020 Edition #8 of the Chill Out Tent we featured the obsessive, forensic Boards of Canada documentary made by Unamused Pirate. It was really well recieved by all who watched it, so just in case you missed it or if you fancy another deep dive into the story of this enigmatic band, here it is. Hats off to Unamused Pirate, it’s a superb film and obviously thanks to him for letting us share his work with the Chill Out Tent Community.

‘I seem to have inadvertently made an almost feature length video on the Scottish Electronic band “Boards of Canada”. There are very few things I am passionate about to the level that I am about this musical duo. I’ve always wanted to make a long video outlining their discography and style, and now I’ve done it. The amount of time I’ve spent checking every word and cut in this thing is now beyond my comprehension, so if any mistakes remain I can only say I apologize. Factual inaccuracies are also something I’ve relentlessly checked and monitored, I can honestly say if any remain I had zero idea they weren’t accurate. I’m not in any way a professional in any field related to the making of this video, it was mainly an experiment for myself, to see if I could do it, and I feel proud of it at this point.’
