Music Is Math

About Music Is Math

Memory is an overarching concept within Boards of Canada’s music, as the brothers detailed in a 2005 interview with The Wire: "If there’s sadness in the way we use memory, it’s because the time you’re focusing on has gone forever. I guess it’s a theme we play on a lot, that bittersweet thing where you face up to the fact that certain chapters of your​ life are just Polaroids now." Also explaining with Clash: "We’re not trying to accurately pastiche the past; it’s about inventing a past that didn’t really happen" .
