Why do the Boards of Canada never play live?
The electronic music duo Boards of Canada have been producing music for nearly 25 years, but have never performed it live. There are a few reasons why this might be the case: the duo's members have always been fiercely private and have chosen to remain anonymous; their music is based on intricate and complex soundscapes, which are difficult to replicate live; and they may be satisfied with the creative freedom of producing music without having to perform it. Ultimately, the decision to never perform live was probably a conscious one, allowing the duo to remain true to their creative vision and retain their autonomy.
