This is Hexagon Sun: A Video on Boards of Canada

I inadvertently made an almost feature length video on the Scottish Electronic band "Boards of Canada". There are very few things that I'm 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 this is 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. I feel proud of it at this point.

This video was started in 2017 and initially finished and rendered around November/December 2019, so anything new from Boards of Canada after that point isn't accounted for in this video. It took me a while to actually upload it, which should explain why some "as of" phrases may seem inconsistent.

This video features no audio that isn't in some way related to Boards of Canada. It was not monetized by me and I will not make any money at all from this video, nor do I intend to. As of now, the video has been claimed by the rightful owners of all the music included, which is why you see adverts throughout, but the money is hopefully going to the right people. Everything related to Boards of Canada is owned by Warp Records, Skam Music, or Music70.

Thanks to George the Hawkshaw for his documentary on Boards of Canada, since it is solely what inspired me to make mine, he did it first, so he should get credit for the idea. Visit his channel here:    / georgedahamsta  

I think that's it. Thanks for watching, and thanks to Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin.
