Music: Video Interview w/ BT - A True Modern Musician

Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 9:52 PM

Brian Transeau, or better known by his stage name "BT", is commonly known as a trance, progressive house, electronic music musician but also is a music composer, producer, singer, and songwriter. You might recognize him from his collaboration with Tiesto on "Love Comes Again" and "Break my Fall", or from his own albums "Movement in Still Life", "Emotional Technology", or "This Binary Universe". BT, far more than just a person creating simple melodies and making beats(he
has written numerous movie and video game scores), was classically trained in music from a young age and from his knowledge and creativity has become the music creator that he is today.

I have posted a recent interview that took place at the end of October with BT right before a live performance with DJ Ferry Corsten at Corsten's "Full on Ferry: The Masquerade 2009". The interview is a quick view inside the mind and thoughts of the musician that are very insightful to his thoughts on music today, origins of jazz, and his coming to be a dance music musician. One interesting thing to note is BT clearly states he is not a DJ, something that many people probably find confusing who have ever seen him perform live and listen to his style of music. His performance as he has named it is a live laptop symphony, truly a composer of the 21st Century. Released earlier this year, "Rose of Jericho" is available for download and is to be one track on his newest up and coming album.
