FAQ

🙋

What's up with the word "Boonk"?
Boonk is adapted from the Belgian word "BOENK".

"Boenkmuziek" = electronic dance music. 20 years ago it was mostly used as a negative term to signify electronic music - mostly used by older generations, rock fans and opponents of dance music, as in:

😠 "This is not real music, this is boenkmuziek"
🤕 "My head hurts from this boenkmuziek".
😡 "All young people listen to these days is boenkmuziek!"

However, the new generation - proponents of dance - claimed it and made it theirs. For instance, the shout "boenkeuuuh" - "let's boonk!" - means to enjoy dance music on a primal level, without bothering about social conventions or doubting about "is it cool to like this track?"

"Boenk" is also an onomatopoeia, the sound of the word is the same as its meaning:
boonk boonk boonk boonk = the kick/beat of dance music

How is the music created?
MIDI sequences are generated programmatically. These trigger each separate instrument - kick/snare/synth/etc. Each midi sequence contains randomness, within predefined boundaries.

Drums are sample-based. Synths are recorded live via some outboard gear. Ceel played around with some knobs during recording, ingesting a piece of his human soul into the boonkbot.

All loops are mixed/mastered through a processing chain which was set up per synth style.
How are the bots created?
Each bot is a unique combination of head x shoulders x torso x legs x arms.

After procedurally assembling the bot, they are paired with a boonk, receive a color style and possibly some extra features such as club lights and smoke. Finally, they're animated and rendered.

Ceel also added some randomness here and there and some hidden traits for the h4rdc0r3.
