Product Description

Album Description

The Binary Universe is a new release from the artist Brian Transeau known internationally as BT. The CD is packaged with a DVD featuring all the compositions of the new release in DTS5.1 Surround and illustrated by a distinguished collection of the finest computer artists and animators in the world today. The DVD collaboration of composer and animator’s is more then a "Bonus" animated version of the CD tracks. It is a genuine unification of music and visuals: a stand-alone artwork pushing the limits of available technology in sound engineering and computer generated art.


About the Artist

Initially known as the pioneer of trance music, BT has arrived as one of the most cutting-edge artists & producers for a multitude of musical styles. Whether he's crafting perfect pop hooks with *NSYNC, composing intricate scores with orchestras for films like The Fast and the Furious, collaborating with Sting on a track from his forthcoming album, or remixing emotional and languid epics for Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Madonna or Seal, BT consistently balances creative and memorable songwriting, sonic innovation, and the latest technology for a cutting-edge, yet organic sound.

BT, born Brian Transeau, grew up outside Washington D.C. where the first evidence of his musical talent manifested as mastery of composers such as Chopin and Bach by age six. A great break in musical direction came when he 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. After being introduced to artists like Cabaret Voltaire and Depeche Mode, I turned my back on classical music for quite awhile."

BT's sense of individualism also inspired his scholastic decisions. He dropped out of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1990 to shop his electronic music in Los Angeles. Many doors were slammed in his face because few understood his new unique sound, but he refused to compromise his vision. He returned to the D.C. area and launched Deep Dish Records with long-time high school friends, and recent Grammy award winners, Deep Dish.

Within the year, BT's first releases garnished the attention of English dance pioneer, Sasha, who gave BT his first taste of stardom and the rewards of dance culture. "The first venue he took me to was a barn in Brighton, England," BT recalls, "It was the most amazing party. Three thousand people were sweating and crying over my songs like 'Embrace The Future.' I had found my people."

BT's mix of epic and classically inspired journeys and beats quickly took on the name Trance, and became one of the most popular and dominant electronic music genres played in clubs from London to Tokyo and New York. BT's talent and persistence had finally paid off and he later released his epic albums, IMA, ESCM, and the wildly diverse Movement In Still Life, featuring the hit single, 'Never Gonna Come Back Down.'

BT has also gained the reputation as a talented and versatile film score composer. He scored movies such as the blockbuster hit The Fast and the Furious, Doug Liman's Go, Under Suspicion, starring Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman, and he's currently working on the highly anticipated Monster starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci.

"To marry melody, harmony and memorable songwriting with the most bleeding-edge technology possible is my passion. These are the things that excite me."

5.0 out of 5 stars A personal journey, 6 Jan 2007
By thelawman999 (North West England) - See all my reviews
I read the other reviews before getting this album. I too have all BT's other stuff and worried slightly after reading some of the reviews that I wasn't going to like this piece of work. How wrong I was.
This is a personal journey. Not something you play in your car for other people to listen to. Dim the lights, drink wine or whatever you do to help relax and just listen, it's beautiful. I don't think that the beats are overdone, but sometimes they do come out of nowhere and add to the overall feel of the piece. I personally love the chilled piano, pads, effects and general mood setting aura but didn't thinks the beats distracted at all from the mood.
This is without a doubt one of the best composed and produced Cd's I've ever listened to and after this first listen with a crtical ear, I Intend to give it some hammer !

5.0 out of 5 stars Desperate Measures, 1 Sep 2006
By Kevin Greenway "Wadded" (Loughborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wow, what can I say. I was deperate to get hold of TBU as soon I heard the release date. As the UK release seems to have been delayed until late September, I've had to turn to desperate measures to lay my hands on this copy. Thanks to Amazon.com and UPS priority shipping it arrived today, I have to say this is awesome.

I've seen a few mixed reviews so far, more positive than negative I'm pleased to say. I've been a fan of BT's work from back in the early days of his collaboration work with Sasha.

I've listened to a couple of times already today, but have to say the 5.1 experience far exceeds that of the 2 channel. Stand out tracks...Well they all are! If I had to put my finger onto one it would have to be Good Morning Kaia, an inspiration to all potential Fathers to be :-)

This is real inspirational work and one of the best listening experiences I've ever had. Like many other's I really do like some of BT's more uptempo stuff, but its great to see how his work has evolved over the years.

I would definetly recommend this to anyone whether BT fan or not...Keep up the good work Mr BT.

3.0 out of 5 stars Multi-media BT, 8 Sep 2006
By C. Hemmings - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is BT playing with art and music at the same time. There is none of his usual trance landscapes or record-breaking editing, rather a slow-paced ambient mood that is more akin to his recent soundtrack Monster.

The music is set to various animated/art films, one of which featured footage of BT and his new daughter (Good Morning Kaia). The DVD does give the music more breadth and depth than simply listening to the CD on its own.

A chilled listen....but I'm still waiting for IMA Part II.
