BT
is the creative force currently driving digital songwriting
and soundscaping in its evolution into the audio-visual-spiritual
art-form that will define and inspire the human narrative
of the 21st Century. He is re-mastering the obsolete soundtrack
of our late analog planet, reassembling from the chaos of
smashed bytes blurring our sampled lives a new paradigm of
beauty for This Binary Universe .
“To marry melody, harmony and memorable songwriting with the most bleeding-edge
technology possible is my passion. These are the things that excite me.”
The distinct stamp of BT’s virtuoso
artistry and craftsmanship is already imprinted across the
wide pantheon of modern popular
arts and entertainment. He
composed the high octane film score for the blockbuster hit The
Fast and the Furious as well as the haunting
tonal background for Charlize Theron’s
Academy Award-winning performance in Monster. His other scores include
Doug Liman’s
Go, Under Suspicion (starring Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman), Miramax’s
The Underclassman, Sony’s Stealth and the video game Tiger Woods
Legends.
His
wizardry of the keyboards, classical or electronic, as well
as his producing, songwriting and orchestral composing and scoring talents
have
been showcased
in collaborations with major artists, including Sting and David Bowie.
Considered the founding pioneer of trance electronica, he has engineered
legendary mixes
for Madonna, Seal and Sarah McLachlan.
BT
seemed fated for his present leadership role in new musical
directions and innovations.
His predilection for always seeking and ascending to
the next
level began when he first heard electronic music as an adolescent. “This
is what my heroes Debussy, Stravinsky and the like were looking for.
Technology-based
music is the only idiom that packs such infinite sonic possibilities.” The
revolutionary fruits of BT’s musical quest thus far are powerfully
evident in the glitched-out yet warmly organic soundscapes infusing
his epic albums,
IMA, ESCM, Movement In Still Life and Emotional Technology. His fifth,
currently untitled, studio album is nearing completion in Los Angeles
and Australia (with
guest artists such as Stuart Copeland of The Police). His second 2006
creation/release will be This Binary Universe, previewed by Keyboard
Magazine : “In a hundred
years, it could well be studied as the first major electronic work
of the new millennium. It’s that good.”
BT’s
musical explorations, progressing well ahead of the curve
in digital sound
composition and programming, necessitated the creation of his own
software company, Sonik Architects, in support of his expanding
vision. Two
new programming
applications, Break Tweaker and Stutter Edit, both prototyped by
BT himself in cSound and Supercollider (two command line-based
music-scripting
languages)
will
be commercially released under the Sonik Architects banner later
this year
