Byron Wallen

To honour the 20th anniversary of Boards Of Canada’s revolutionary record Music Has the Right to Children, we have commissioned Byron Wallen to compose his own interpretation of the work with his rarely used gamelan ensemble.

One of the undisputed heavyweight acts in the IDM world, Music Has the Right to Children stands as the Scottish duo’s magnum opus, made all the impressive by the fact that it was their debut record.

An adult meditation on childhood, concerned with play, naïveté and nostalgia, all tinted with rosy pastoralism, the sensitivity of the compositions will marry beautifully with Byron’s orchestration of the gamelan sound.
