PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW:
This time, a cover of another two treasures from BoC. This is from their unofficial tape "A Few Old Tunes" from 1996. Details about the release: www.discogs.com/Boards-Of-Can...
I prepared to do this for some time, because it is a real gem in their crown. It took some time because I wanted to do it right and not modify their vision too much. Yes, I know "A Few Old Tunes" was intended for their friends only and it was released before they became well known but fortunately someone shared it once and I'm not sad because of this. ;) At first I wanted to make a cover of "5.9.78" only but then, when I progressed, it became clear to me that "5.9.78" can't live without "Boqurant" because both tracks are integral and the beautiful transition between them confirms it totally.
Why am I doing this, you ask?
1. To express how I admire BoC!
2. To set a challenge to myself so I can learn something new in audio production. Even if you do it for about 20 years there's still something more to learn.
3. I love covers that are faithful to the original (as much as possible) and especially with BoC certain sound and emotion are two most crucial elements. Besides, you can not improve on perfection, so the best way is to totally immerse in the mood of original work
I stress, it's not easy at all. I had to spend some time to tweak the patches and recreate the sound, it took many evenings.
All sounds were created on Yamaha AN1x, except the base intro patch (made on daHornet vst: nusofting.liqihsynth.com/freep...) and the mellotron type flute from Kurzweil SP 4-7. The beat was produced in Reaper. Everything was mixed in Reaper also. I used some wow and flutter effect, VHS tape emulation, the mix was even sent to my trustworthy AKAI cassette deck (without recording to tape but using cassette tape adaptor) and recorded again from its output. The tuning of the track is 31.3 cents higher from a standard A440 tuning.

I remember when I was 19, I walked alone in a forest in Norway under the northern lights I was listening to this song ... 🌌☺️
A beach at night crowded with blue herons for me.
That sounds magical and beautiful...
on acid lost in a sketchy part of town at 3am lol.
devin khoury fuck yes acid every time with boards
@@theubc literally my medicine. boc and acid
This whole melody reminds me of good times with my mom.
Quello che dici ti fa onore👍
It's amazing to me that something so electronic and digital can so perfectly capture the soul of the natural world. It's magical.
that transition into 5.9.78 is the best thing ive heard in my entire life
this is the best thing i’ve ever heard in my life
sounds like something my future wife would say
as a matter of a fact will you marry me
@@JLOGGYi do 💍
Best episode of “How it’s made” I’ve ever seen.
This is a credit to your craft. Boc probably have the hardest sound to recreate and you've managed to get it bang on! Good job!
Soothing and hypnotic while balanced with a steady and simple beat
That 5.9.78 cover is just spot on.. Wow.
I've felt so terrifyingly numb lately, it's such a relief to hear something move me and make the tears flow... I should've known a cover of one of my favourite songs would do.
A deserted beach, a low sun hinting its presence behind a thin layer of water colour painted cloud + BOC on your headphones.. Gets very deep inside your head.
Could I ask you what your other favourite songs are please?
@@tpastoncooper @Tom PC yeah of course mate, well as far as BoC is concerned I'm very fond of Wouldn't You Like to Be Free (good cover it on youtube to listen to it full length), I Will Get It Tattood, Rue The Whirl, Sdesis, Sundown, Whitewater, Why Good Friday Boc Cover, Seven Forty Seven, 5.9.
78, really their entire discography except Nlogax, never really liked that one single track lol. Stars of the Lid's Girl With The Flesh Colored Crayon, The Austin Texas Mental Hospital. Biosphere's When I Leave, Poa Alpina, Startoucher... Roby McCrae's Rock Your Baby. Motorhead's Capricorn, that's an amazing song. Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Not Slight Return).Oneohtrix Point Never's Physical Memory, We'll Take It, Sleep Dealer, Stress Waves. Moby's Inside. Aphex Twin's Yellow Calx. Roscoe Loscomb's Moonshiner. should probably stop here, got a lot of favourite songs and might go on forever ahah. But hopefully some of these will give you some enjoyment.
@Impilo yempilo cheers for the hug mate, doing fab now ♥️
That's actually a really beautiful thing of you to say. I hope you're doing well. Random and compassionate hugs from strangers are great....so have another one 🙂🤗
For a cover to give me the same feeling as the original, which is truly an otherworldly and mystical feeling, is such a testament to the quality of this for me. Can't imagine i'll ever hear a better cover.
Is no one going to talk about how spot on the Boqurant cover was? Amazing!
is that the aim? to replicate?
I'll talk about it
I'll never forget the first time I heard 5.9.78 for the first time years ago. It's still magical today as it was back then.
That's true, even stronger than Juliet and Candy.
@@user-oj9iu8pq5y That's another gem. ❤️
Damn i don't wanna disrespect the original version but yours is my favourite.
You just blew my FUCKING mind. One of the best covers I've seen on TH-cam.
Thanks, man! You are a very good piano player. I see some Radiohead stuff, yeah!
Thanks. Speaking of piano, can I get the chords to 5-9-78? I've always wanted to play that on piano.
F aug5 sus4 (F Bb C#) (you can play this chord optionally only once as an anacrusis before 1st section, it comes frome fade out of „Boqurant” and actually it's a part of it but it gives a nice overtone)
1st section:
bass: Bb, chord: F sus4 (F Bb C) (1 bar)
bass: Bb, chord: Bb (F Bb D) (1 bar)
bass: F, chord: Fm (F G# C) (2 bars)
bass: Bb, chord: Bb (F Bb D) (2 bars)
bass: F, chord: Fm (F G# C) (2 bars)
2nd section:
bass F#, chord F# (F# Bb C#) (1 bar)
bass Bb, chord Bb (Bb D F) (1 bar)
bass G#, chord G# 6th (G# C Eb F) (2 bars)
(repeat infinitely :))
These are just basic chords, but the same synth sound plays some melody. I recorded the melody separately, because I played chords with two hands (bass note + chord). I plan to record some „behind the scenes”, where I'm gonna show some more details.
Daaang, I didn't see this comment and actually just learned it today on my own. Yours is much more detailed and probably more accurate than what I'm playing, so this still helps a lot, thanks.
wavy has really good taste in music. props to him.
Yup. I was pleasantly surprised to hear BOC in the background of one of his videos.
I am devastated
There are billions of videos on youtube, and out of every single video this might be my favorite
A beautiful cover of my favorite song (this cover might even be better than the original). Seeing how you play the notes on the synth, aswell as some beautiful nostalgic clips of random memories. And the really cool vintage filter making it look like the video was some recently found footage from the 70s. The video as a whole emits a special kind of nostalgia to childhood before the digitalization. I was born way after the 70s yet it's making me feel like I experimented it. Good job.
hey man
i just wanted to let you know how much i absolutely adore this cover
words cannot even describe it
i use it to sleep almost every night, listen to it while doing chores, while walking outside and while doing different activities
it has been 2 years since i found it now i believe
and it really means so much to me
I still listen to it every day
5.9.78 is the song that reminds me love still exists. It's so emotional.
The transition into the pad sound around 1:40 is transcendental. Having this version as a high fidelity alternative is wonderful. Thanks so much for creating it. The synth programming is incredible.
5-9-78 is a very emotional track and you managed to capture that felling really well. Beautiful!
Thanks! Yes, this is a very special track. I wonder if they will ever release it with some other rarities so I can actually buy it, like the rest of the discography.
good lord the an1x sounds heavenly
Why does this sound like something you would hear in a late 80’s and mid 90’s anime with the most chill environment and vibes (I was born in late 2009 but man does anime like that hit different)
That sunrise at the transition was pure bliss, good job
Thanks for that piece of joy with your feeling of BoC. This is piece of art..
I'm huge BoC fan...you give a really nice compliment to their works. A thumbs up.
Brilliant. 5-9-78 is my favourite track by BOC and you absolutely nailed it
Thank you. This is one of their best, indeed.
Same. My #1
Nice dude, 5.9.78 was always my favourite.
I got goosebumps as soon as I heard 5-9-78.... Christ.
Me too !
SAME WOWWW
From the thumbnail alone I had no doubt this would be heat
It's only a couple of minutes long but I feel like a whole lifetime of emotions are felt with this masterpiece.
Time Flies, a whole lifetime passes by in a blink of an eye.
As a fellow AN1x owner, and admirer of BOC, I am strangely proud that the AN1x could pull this off!!! - What am i saying!? - Of course it bloody can! - Fantastic Synth! - It's even speculated that BOC use the AN1x
Phased Spaces I too have an An1x and I think you're on to something!
@@jesdaniels3166 - Alas, Boqurant + 5.9.78 were created before the AN1x existed, it didn't come out until 1997. However the AN1x IS modelled on the Prophet 5, as well as Yamaha's own CS synths. (Yamaha bought the rights to Sequential Circuits & Dave Smith himself lay the foundations for Yamaha's Virtual Analogue technology). Given the closeness to the sounds the AN1x can make to actual BOC tracks, It does make one speculate that perhaps BOC's 'secret weapon' is some kind of Sequential Circuits synth or CS synth? There is also speculation that the 'blue synth' that BOC have been seen using in their early live gigs, may well be an AN1x and not the CS1x rompler. - If it were ever 'confirmed' that BOC do use & have an AN1x, I'm sure 2nd hand prices would rocket! - But the Synth HAS been used by the likes of Nine inch Nails!!!
Phased Spaces Awesome sauce. Thanks for the info!
@@xoio There's no reason why BOC shouldn't own a Prophet 5. Their entire back catalogue scream Prophet5! :)
@@xoio Yes, I think the AN1x have some aspect of Prophet 5 sound and I think the Prophet 5 is a holy grail of analog polyphonic synths. Software emulation (Repro 5 by U-he) is SOOO good in my opinion.
It's unbelievable how you were able to recreate this mate. Sounds even better.
Nicely done.
I keep coming back to this. It's so well done - Thank you. I'd like it a thousand times if I could.
Matthew Fraser I woke up with this playing in my sleep this AM! So beautiful
The transition is so full and rich. Just stunning.
5 9 78 is hands down one of my top 5 boc songs. It makes me feel so strongly.
Well done.
that feeling you get inside of nostalgia and pure magic when listening to this song is mind blowing!
5.9.78 is my favorite piece of music. I could gently float in its opening for an eternity and be perfectly content. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible cover.
Interesting song, I might just love it enough to let it take control of me and bring me further to this feeling I see in it.
This is almost better than the original. There... I said it.
No, I didn't. Never! :)
@@PeterCarpenter80s - Will you, or could you pleeeaassee . make the AN1x patches for this available for download?
@@PeterCarpenter80s Those AN1x patches would be an instant Patreon top tier winner!
you mean the execution is better, because the idea and originality of its creation is what really makes BOC unique. And that cannot be superseded by a cover. Even one this stunning.
execution maybe, but most of the magic lies in the idea. And that magical source that BOC taps into is the nature of their mystery.
That transition with the rising sun tho
This is unbelievable. Fantastic work
This cover sounds much more atmospheric. I prefer it to the original. Excellent work, even 6 years later.
Hey all the other comments beat me to it, but you accomplished something with this cover that most covers do not. This hits me the same way as the original and to do that on a BoC track takes an amazing level of skill.
"5.9.78" I first listened to during a really bad breakup many years ago. I felt a sense of peace. Thanks for this beautiful cover. Cheers.
this is absolutely insane, you totally nailed it
Easily in the top tier best BOC covers - just the right blend of originality and innovation. Kudos!
That transition from Boqurant to 5.9.78 was amazing, talk about an ethereal sound. Goosebumps.
Beautiful cover
I was waiting a long time for you to do a new BoC cover. 5.9.78 must be the sound we hear at birth, magical. Thanks 4 the music, Piotr
Yes, 5.9.78 is surreal. Thank you for your patience. I plan to do more, maybe sooner this time but I have less and less time for doing things I truly love.
At birth! Haha love the reference. I’ve thought so too
*moment of conception lol
Wow, it's like listening to it for the first time...
What a treat man, thank you.
It's strange, I always felt like my AN1x could pull off some pretty accurate BoC type sounds. Here you've made a good case for that.
BOC has been my all-time favourite band for a decade, these guys are pretty much gods among men to me and where many covers/tributes manages to mimic their sound they fail completely at capturing that BOC magic . Not only does your cover live up to its original counterparts, I actually find your version superior. Apart from the obvious improvement in recording quality your overall sound has a greater depth and nuance to it with none of the originals soul and emotion being lost in the process, something I've thought of as damn near impossible. Much respect and salutes to you good sir, you should be proud of your work.
It's the best Boc Cover ever.... I really thought its was just right notes played but with original music onto it... but it's really your recording.... unbelievable
thank you very much for introducing me to this hidden gem.
what kind of BOC fan comes to this video, hears this perfect cover, and dislikes it? what kind of boards fan does that to another boards fan
Bots
i'm getting wavywebsurf vibes here
Stunning demo of this synth.
Dude, "A few old tunes" is such data that it cannot be contained! Data flows, and I'm so glad it does. Kiteracer 2 is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I'm in love with that song, and so glad it came to surface. Your video is great, thanks!
Also, I'm covering Kiteracer 2 and making my best effort to be loyal to the original.
much love, Peter. So brilliant
2 of my fAV most underated songs !!thank you! perfect:)
I love your cover. Great work !
Fascinating! I can feel every particular sound to my bone with this!thanks a million
Wow, you are nailing it with these sounds!! Great work!!
absolutely chilling, amazing work!
Best BoC covers I heard til now! Awesome - you just nailed it!
The greatest BoC cover I've seen yet, from the visuals to the audio.
Very authentic, well done. You have captured the trademark nostalgic feel.
This is fantastic, love 5.9.78, you captured it really well, and its quite fascinating to watch you play it too
entered some other dimension with this. good job man.
Well done, I really love BoC! You nailed the sound!
Nailed it (awesome how you are able to reproduce such an elusive track)
I love this! Great reinterpretation of a BOC favorite.
I love Love LOVE LOOOOVE THIS!!!! THANK you for your hard work!! I will forever be mesmerized completely by BoC!!! Their music resonates with me in ways that go beyond expression. I just love their music so much. You totally nailed this!
absolutely insane
Well played, the intro holds the tension beautifully
That 5.9.78 cover was massive. Thanks man
Man this is so good. Some of BoC's unreleased stuff is pure magic
not only you nailed the cover, the video is also really great in it of itself. the nature clips and sepia filter adds that nostalgic layer very well. kudos to you
Absolutely wonderful.

1st time here
Amazing, those synth melodies just flow beautifully! Big BOC fan.
WOW this is insanely well done! excellent!
Rarely can a song give me the chills but this gave me those lovely hair standing up chills - the transition is so beautiful.
You put a lot of effort in this video! Thank you
do Macquarie Ridge! MACQUARIE RIDGE! pleaseeeeee...
Wow, great job. This is beautiful
Beautiful cover of an amazing song. Also makes me appreciate my newly acquired AN1x a little more
Wow the nice and calmly music I can listen to this all day
Shivers. Good work my friend
Truly great work! Thank you!
Seriously man, this is awesome. BOC would be proud. Mad synth skillz detected.
beautiful work, bravo!
Amazing
hey, that was awesome! Nice synths you've got there too, Sir. Great work!
Fantastic cover, honestly. Browsing An1x demo videos as I'm thinking about picking one up soon. A testament to how good this synth is.
This is really well done. In fact, I think it is better!! Well done!
Oh my god this is so good
Dope as always
