Fan Reviews from Theater screenings of This Binary Universe, Fall '06
" The screening of this binary
universe was one of the coolest things I have ever been to. Having
BT himself share his work with his fans directly meant so much
to me and allowed me to connect with the music in a more personal
way. It was great to be in the company of other true fans (while
some artists would do some hokey radio station give away for
something like this rather than spreading info via fan sites
and having it be a small showing). I had the unique experience
of sitting directly behind BT in the theater and to see him smile
at parts in the movie, bob his head with others etc made it even
more special as you could see just how much this work of art
meant to him. I'd have to say BT is the coolest, friendliest
artist I have ever met. He came up to my friend and I while we
were waiting in line and said something to the effect of "thank
you so much for coming out to see the show, I've been working
hard in there to get it sounding perfect, I can't wait to share
this with you". The movie and music are amazing but
in a small review like this I can't even scratch the surface
of
reviewing
the movie/album :)"

"
Entering the theater I had no idea what to expect, the information
was sketchy and I had never met him before. I got in line with the
few other people in front of me. Moments later BT walked down the
stairs, it seemed so unreal for him to greet people in line. He gladly
took pictures with me and signed my vinyl, it was too cool. Once
in the theater he sat right behind us, I thought it was cool for
him to sit with us! The films were awesome, so much work was put
into them, and they were simply amazing! So much work and dedication
was put into these films! The music was awesome, I have been waiting
for so long to hear BT”s new music. I loved it! After the show
BT gladly answered any question that fans asked. He was so enthused
to let people know about the music and film and what’s next
in his career. BT is just a music genius, and is very friendly
and outgoing for his fans!"
-Bryan Gerry (bgerry)
"
I was totally floored. I expected it to be a big event with tons
of people, and then BT might come out for five minutes at the end.
From the moment that he greated people at the door, I realized it
wasn't going to be like that. It was exciting that he took the time
to thoroughly introduce the movie, and that he had to be basically
dragged out of the Q&A session after what seemed an hour
by his handlers. From start to finish, it was clear how much
he cared
about
connecting with his fans and delivering them this amazing and
unexpected gift. Oh yeah, and the movie was great and the music
revolutionary."
-Tola Marts, Issaquah, WA
Its
been several days since the Seattle screening of TBU and it all
feels so surreal. The night overall was
incredible. Although
incredible doesn't quite fit. TBU is beautiful, truly. Such
a rich gift to put out into the world. I wish I had any
kind musical knowledge to fully understand each nuance, but music
was
never my gift. It is however, BT's. His passion and
energy are so contagious. It's so rare to meet such an
authentic and genuine artist who is able to emote so much of
himself into what
he creates. I have nothing but the sincerest admiration.
I am
happy that I was able to be a part of such an
evocative experience. Thanks again for your efforts
