Music is Math

I decided to try and organise myself pretty well this time round to avoid stress at the end of the module and start straight away with some research. It seemed logical to start by researching the peice of audio I've been given, which will be the soundtrack to my animation. It is called Music is Math by Boards of Canada.

Listen to the track here!

Brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin make up the duo that is Boards of Canada, who first started releasing music on their self-run music label 'Music70' until they were signed by 'Warp Records' and released their first album 'Music Has a Right to Children' in 1998. Music is Math is the second track on their album Geogaddi which was released in February 2002. The album title has to meaning as the listener was meant to decide it on their own after listening to the album. 

Album cover review:
Rarely has an album cover so fittingly embodied an album's sound as that of Geogaddi. A bloody, sun-drenched, kaleidoscopic tessellation of a child standing in between two trees, the image imparts inscrutability, whimsy and an ominous sense of danger. Elementally, Geogaddi does not depart all that radically from its predecessor, Music Has the Right to Children. But in tone and texture, the album is Music's stark opposite. Possessing a uniquely alluring dread, Geogaddi's 23 soundcards form a collage of eroding nostalgia, a singular sonic experience whose reach we have yet to truly witness. Because though we can pinpoint aural touchstones in its predecessors and followers, we still cannot find an approximation of its consummate purview.

I listened to the track several times and wrote down what I felt while listening to it aswell as what it made me think of, what I saw in my mind and any words I would use to describe it. 
Heres what I came up with:

• Relaxing
• Futuristic - reminds me of E.T
• Sci Fi
• Trance like
• Concentration
• Sadness? - loss? - darkness?
• Astronauts - their suits - slow motion - in space or under water
• 'The past inside the present' - moving forward
• Beat boxing
• Curious - somewhat mysterious
• Can picture someone concetrating completely in their own world
• Considered
• Completing a task - movement
• Uneasy
• Unfamiliarity
• Paranoid - danger?
• Communication
• Exploration - roaming
