What's your fav Boards of Canada track? (Mine is ROYGBIV)

Already had immense respect louis and his music but him mentioning that he listens to Boards of Canada the most is just the golden cherry on top... Love you and your music Louis!!

What is amazing to me- is how absolutely humble and appreciative Louis Cole is, in my opinion, he is perhaps the most amazing composer, arranger, drummer, vocalist and synth bassist.. his songs range from intense funk to the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard. And, I'm 71, and a lifelong professional bassist that loves much of what he mentions here. He also, creates truly unique videos that are fun to watch. An amazing artist that has none of the bullshit attitudes so many performers have- people who couldn't form a pimple on his you know what. I love Louis Cole, too.

I’m older too, and I am so incredibly grateful for the artists like Louis who come along every few years and rekindle my love for music. It look me so long to discover him and Knower but now I’m listening nonstop.

The talk about the early Boards of Canada tapes really caught me off guard. He is spot on that they vibrate a specific nerve like nothing else

BOC puts you in a weird future nostalgia space. It's fairly unique. Electronica from that era has a special feel as it was painstakingly produced with no laptops.... Early Plaid, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert. Broadcast also has this effect on me!

it'll be a crime he doesn't win at least a grammy in his life. we're doing something wrong otherwise, thundercat was on late night, surely louis cole deserves the recognition for the talent he really is, a musicians musician for sure, thoughtful, clever, insightful, delightful, joyful, fun, interesting, dynamic, strange, beautiful, wild, intense, wicked good music comes out of this man's mind.

I fully support music snobbery, especially when you can back it up with your own brilliant music. Louis Cole is incredible.

I really dig what he said about being selective about the music you listen to and it directly influencing your muse and creation. Well said, Senor Cole.

I don’t even listen to music from that time period that much, and I agree. I think the funding and recording technology was at its highest peak that there was before synthesizers/computers dominated the scene, and that probably plays a part. A lot of the most lush acoustic arrangements are from that time

Louis is a great natural talent. The real deal! I want this guy to be BIG, but I also want him to remain true to himself and he wants to keep it true and honest, and when you get too BIG you lose a lot of that. I guess I just wish him continued success. His honesty is a part of his brand and I dig that!

LC the best to ever do it. PERIOD.

Love getting a peek inside the mind of LC

Nice job by the interviewer, Charles Brownstein. He was humble and you could tell Louis really enjoyed speaking with him.

@@afndcasd1288 try listening to "Do Not Look Down". Not funk, but it's a groove alright. Quite a few jazzers are really into them. They basically invented a very particular treatment of polyrhymic grooves that's got more popular over the years.

So happy he received a grammy nod. it was so well deserved. quality over opinion is my favorite album of last year and this year. i really hope knower comes out and takes its spot. his solo work, his knower live works and his other project with sam are just 3 of my favorite things and its insane hes the root of all 3.

LC showing love to Meshuggah made me happy and yes, one of the grooviest bands ever

By far the most ingenious, multitalented, interesting and innovative musician nowadays THANK YOU, LC 🥰

I think this guy is a great drummer so I had my fingers crossed that he would say "In A Silent Way". bing bing bing that is a great answer... one of the greatest works of all time -- complete genius.

Oh my gosh, love that he mentioned the old BoC stuff! I have all on an old computer, the stuff Spotify doesn't have. It always blows my mind too!

Now I know where DJ Driver got his influence from, Boards of Canada!

I love Clown Core!

What a wonderfully eclectic set of "influences". If you go back and listen to some of those records, like Miles' Birth of the Cool (recorded in1949-50 but not released until 57) you can hear how they connect to Louis' horn sections and broader arrangement decisions with his big bands. Same with Tony Williams.

Very nice interview, I love Louis Cole!

I think a very low boredom threshold is what I'd have in common with this jazza. Tony Williams was a master drummie.

In my darkest hour you are my safe space!!!!❤

Bro he has such a similar taste to me. Did not expect the boards of canada deep cuts

7:15 Forever Forever is indeed a good album. Loved the drums in "Plate"

Thanks Louis and Charles! Great interview. Louis Cole is a man of few words but when he speaks, it's meaningful and thought provoking.

3:35 - I feel Louis might be referring particularly to tracks like the cover of David Crosby's 'Guinevere' and Joe Zawinul's 'Early Minor', both of which are featured in 'The Complete In A Silent Way' boxset and both of which aptly fit the 'dark, sad but beautiful' vibe and moods he described. Incredibly moody, trippy, haunting and mysterious. Another track is 'Lonely Fire', which is kinda in the same vein (a very apt and fitting title), but that might be from the new box set, the 'Complete Bitches Brew' one.

❤

I, too, love Louis Cole

What a great interview! Thanks, I really enjoyed that.

I wholeheartedly agree about what he says about Meshuggah in the late 90s. I've watched so many KZread videos of them from that era. Their vibe and energy on stage was the best. From 95 to about 2003 they were the kings of metal

We have a ton of great interviews on the channel. Please watch more, and share with your friends and family :)

Super cool interview!!

And here I thought my passion to Meshuggah was realy peculiar, while I still listen to jazz music. Love this list

Killer list!

Going to go and check out the first two albums again, they always sound fresh.

Love ya, Louis. Glad to hear you were so inspired by Skrillex. I'm such a huge KNOWER fan. I think threading the 'dubstep' sonic world with you and Gen's writing was incredible. Can't wait for the new album! (I know it's in the house, but still)

I had the good fortune of catching Louis with Genevieve Artadi in Brooklyn last month and was appreciating the taught urgency of the compositions and likened it to the dozen Zawinul Syndicate shows I got to enjoy so it's exciting to hear Louis convey what an enthusiast he is....not to mention Mahler's 5th...

I don't imagine it's possible to be a drummer and stumble upon Louis Cole's creativity and talent without being inspired. This dude alone probably had an impact drumming from now on. And even that is obviously only one aspect of what he does... I'd actually love to know about his miking and production techniques.

Thumbs up if L.C picked your favourite Mahler track!!! I usually struggle to remember which Mahler piece is the reason I own the boxed Leonard Bernstein collection. Got the box because I knew it would be there somewhere. Bent the cardboard sleeve to tell me 'its somewhere here' Awesome stuff to know L.C loves that same track most of all. So many small nuances in there, I have yet to hear any place else, that just set off goosepimples.

Such a legit dude!
