Cover of "Roygbiv" by Boards of Canada (from "Music Has the Right to Children" album).
From Wikipedia: "Roy G. Biv is an acronym for the sequence of hues commonly described as making up a rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colors; the distinct bands are an artifact of human color vision."
I decided to keep the sound close to the original. It took a lot of work but I had a lot of fun too. Big respect to BoC for making up such a splendid melody and catching the uncatchable.
Everything is mixed in Reaper. I used a lot of VST processing, especially on piano.
Beat was made from various samples and I used a little bit of bit crusher effect to emulate the sound of 12bit samplers which BOC apparently love.
The sample of the kid saying "hey" was taken from the original with low pass and high pass filter applied.
If you try to emulate their sound you instantly know why they always say things in interviews like how they shape the sound of hihat for a few days and about all the hard processing job. Yes, indeed, this is the hardest part in this type of music.
Synths used: Yamaha DX100 for piano, KORG Volca Bass for bassline, Waldorf Blofeld for main melody and the melody at 0:35, Yamaha AN1X for the melody at 0:45.

If ROYGBIV got sick and couldn't attend my funeral, this is the version that I'd want to take its place.

I showed this video to my 3 year old son and now every night at bedtime he asks me to play it. He wants a keyboard for his birthday so he can play too. You have not only made a 3 year old a fan of BoC (which is awesome), you have literally inspired the next generation of music!

I just bought a Microkorg and found a vid with 100 patches that sound very similar to BoC. If you get him a synth it's just a thought. He's three so something patched with BoC might be fun. Still a pricey gift though for a 3 year old lol.

@@gerhitchman nostalgia or meloncollie feelings are usually understood as a form of sadness and yearning or sense of loss. A loss of another time. A memorial to a time that has long past. A song that triggers your memory of an old girlfriend makes the song feel nostalgic. The boards of canada use a lot of samples from canadian film board. They made lots of educational films and the sonic quality has that sense of nostalgia for those that went to preschool and elementary school in the 60s and 70s and even 80s...since the films were used in classrooms for decades...
Most accurate cover sound I've yet heard. Lovely.
You have now become Boards of Canada.

Agreed. Just a shame that BoC themselves, with Tomorrow's Harvest, "un-become" themselves and completely forgot how to write melodies. Yes I'm bitter, it's a f*cking boring album and has none of the soul, passion or creativity of any of their earlier works. :(

Best on the tube next to the real thing. Not as easy to do as people think because with BOC, it's as much about the texture, effects and tone as it is what notes you're playing. Well done on the video saturation, very appropriate.

Hey, could you do a cover of "Beware the Friendly Stranger"? (If you haven't done that one yet.)
Man, seriously... It made me cry. Pretty accurate and beautiful.
Fantastic cover, it sounds even better than the original!
I never heard that 'piano riff' @0:35 so clearly! I love the song even more now!
Look I already love Roygbiv. It's still one of my go to BOC songs since I found out about them back in 2012. But seeing it actually be played...it just never ceases to amaze me what actually goes into this song.
Impressive deconstruction/reconstruction - must admit, never a fan of covers that try and emulate the original as much as possible but I appreciate the work that's gone into this.
I'm a huge BoC fan and you definitely get a thumps up! Superbly done!
