When recording with other artists, BT has used the aliases Kaistar, Libra, Dharma, Prana, Elastic Reality, Elastic Chakra, and GTB.

BT is known in production circles for his signature technique, the stutter edit, also known as the BT stutter.^[4][5] This technique consists of taking a small sample of a sound and then repeating it in a rhythmic way.

Early years

Transeau showed an early interest in music, playing the piano from the age of two.^[6] As an adolescent, he heard electronic music such as New Order and Depeche Mode and began to love it. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts for one year before dropping out and moving to Los Angeles, California^{[citation needed]} where he found himself largely an outsider in the closed Los Angeles electronica community. Berklee College of Music, founded in 1945, is an independent music college in Boston, Massachusetts with many prominent faculty, staff, alumni, and visiting artists. ... Boston redirects here. ...

Music career

BT moved back to the Washington, DC area where he grew up and collaborated there with his friends Ali and Sharam of Deep Dish in the early 1990s. Transeau's productions were not popular in the United States, and he had no idea that he had become a sensation across the Atlantic, where UK DJs like Sasha and Paul Oakenfold were regularly spinning his music to the delight of crowds. Sasha bought Transeau a ticket to London, where BT witnessed his own massive success; several thousand clubbers responded enthusiastically when Sasha played his song.^[7] He was soon signed to Oakenfold's record label.

In the early years of BT's career (roughly 1995-2000), he pioneered the trance genre, which was less hyper and more soothing than most other types of dance music. Despite the fact that he is not truly a DJ and doesn't claim to be,^[8] BT has often appeared on the lists of the world's top DJs. In 2006, he ranked 73rd on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ list. In 2005, he ranked 82nd,^[9] up from 92 in 2004^[10]. Additional rankings were 83rd in 2003 and 76 in 2001.^[11][12] More recently, in DJ Times, BT was ranked as America's second best DJ, as voted by fans.^[13] Year 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full 1995 Gregorian calendar). ... Year 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full 2000 Gregorian calendar). ...

BT has said of his musical background, "I'm not the traditional type of dance music artist. I'm not a DJ. I come from a classical music background. I attended the Berklee College of Music, and I played in punk bands."^[7]

Ima

Instantly popular, BT's 1996 album Ima helped shape the future of the burgeoning progressive house scene as it merged with, and later came to define, the trance music style. Notable on Ima was it's first single, which put the album on the map with a co-write and vocal by Vincent Covello on the break-out hit single for BT, "Loving You More." Another prized collaboration with singer/songwriter Tori Amos "Blue Skies was released afterwards and rose to the top of the dance charts as well.

ESCM

While Ima was comprised solely of the "progressive" sound, 1997's ESCM was more experimental (although it still produced several big records for the electronic dance music scene). The album featured more complex melodies and more traditional harmonies along with a heavier use of vocals. The tone of the album is darker and less whimsical than Ima. The album, as a whole, is much more diverse than BT's debut album. The LP was a hit in Britain, Australia and Japan.^[7] See also: 1997 in music (UK) Musical groups established in 1997 Record labels established in 1997 // January 9 - David Bowie performs his 50th Birthday Bash concert (the day after his birthday) at Madison Square Garden, with guests Frank Black, The Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, Robert Smith of The Cure, Lou...

The biggest hit from ESCM was arguably the trance classic, " Flaming June", a collaboration with German trance meister Paul Van Dyk. Indeed, Paul and BT would collaborate on a number of works including the excellent, unreleased " Namastai" as well as PVD's remix of BT's "Blue Skies" and "Remember". "Remember" featured Jan Johnston on vocals. There was also a BT and PVD mix of the Van Dyk classic " Forbidden Fruit".

Movement in Still Life

BT released his 1999 album Movement in Still Life and continued his previous experimentation outside of the trance genre. The album, his third, features a strong element of nu skool breaks, a genre he helped define with the popular "Hip-Hop Phenomenon",^[14] in collaboration with Tsunami One. The LP moved into less experimental music and was somewhat worrying to some fans on the artist's message boards.^{[citation needed]} The strong hip-hop influences on "Madskillz-Mic Chekka" and "Love on Haight Street" combined with pop flavors to cause doubt that BT was moving away from his roots. However, the album hits a spectrum of genre-work. "Smartbomb" is a mix of funky, heavy riffs from both synthesizers and guitars woven over a hip-hop break and includes a lyric sample from "Love on Haight Street". "Shame" and "Satellite" lean toward an alt-rock sound, while "Godspeed" and "Dreaming" fall into classic trance ranks. "Running Down the Way Up", a collaboration with fellow electronic act Hybrid, features sultry vocals heavily edited into a progressive breakbeat track. "Never Gonna Come Back Down" (featuring vocals by Mike Doughty) was the most popular single from the album, and appeared on the Gone in 60 Seconds soundtrack in radio edited form. "Mercury and Solace", while failing to achieve the commercial success of "Never Gonna Come Back Down", is the most commercially remixed song from the album.^[15] Jan Johnston sang vocals on this track and others, with Kirsty Hawkshaw also making significant vocal contributions to "Running Down the Way Up" and "Dreaming".

Emotional Technology

The original versions of many tracks that were to be released on the follow up to Movement in Still Life were stolen from BT's studio during a burglary around Christmas of 2001. $75,000 worth of equipment was stolen. The 11 lost tracks included collaborations with Sarah MacLachlan and Peter Gabriel which were never duplicated.

The album that replaced the lost tracks was Emotional Technology, released in 2003. It featured more vocal tracks than BT's previous fare, including six with vocals by BT himself. Emotional Technology was BT's least experimental album to date, and many consider it the "popiest" of all of his work. The big single from the album, Somnambulist, draws heavily from the breakbeats and new wave dance of New Order and Depeche Mode, whom BT has cited as major influences.^[4] The rest of the album fairly escapes genre labeling.^{[citation needed]} from the dark guitar work of Circles, to The Only Constant is Change which is reminiscent of Satellite, the album blends genres and changes genres in mid-track.^{[citation needed]} Emotional Technology is the fourth album by electronica artist Brian Transeau, also known as BT.

The album features a mix of many genres, including jazz, breakbeats, and classical music. Three songs feature a full 110-piece orchestra. BT has said that the album has a lullaby-like quality, inspired by his daughter, Kaia, who sat on his lap throughout most of the song writing process. Animated videos were created to accompany each song.^[16] The videos are included in a DVD packaged along with the CD.

Keyboard Magazine declared of the album, “In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major electronic work of the new millennium.”^[17]

Unlike his last two albums, which featured vocals on almost every track, this album contains none. The tracks also change genres constantly throughout. A good example is "The Antikythera Mechanism", which starts off almost lullaby-like, complete with a piano, acoustic guitars and reversed beats. Halfway through the track, the song explodes with a 110-piece orchestra, followed by a section of breakbeats and ending with the de-construction of the orchestra. The Antikythera mechanism (main fragment). ...

Through the months of November and December of 2006, BT toured the album with Thomas Dolby opening. This 3 piece band set featured many instruments created by BT himself, as well as introduced his live stutter edit plug-in that will be released in 2007. The concert also featured a live slideshow of images from the online website DeviantArt as a backdrop.^[18] Images and accounts from the tour to date can be seen at dA Presents.^[19] Thomas Dolby (born Thomas Morgan Robertson, on 14 October 1958) is an English musician, producer, and inventor. ... deviantART is an international online artistic community. ...

Software

BT has written his own software called BreakTweaker for his latest album. He was intending to release it in 2007 under his software company, Sonik Architects. He plans to then come out with a line of tools and plugins specifically aimed at musicians and DJs, including his signature stutter edit.^[28] He has a team of developers now working on delivering a feature-complete product leaving him free to focus on higher level architecture and development.

In addition to his "BT Stutter" edit, BT's signature sound is also achieved by means of a method of sound manipulation called granular synthesis, where sounds are broken apart into tiny pieces and rearranged to create very chaotic and wild soundscapes.^[29] BT is one of the direct pioneers of time correction techniques.^[30] Time correction is a method by which a producer takes a series of samples with random occurrence (such as rain) and time corrects each individual hit according to a rhythmic and mathematical grid, much like the BT stutter. The result is that the seemingly random pulses take on a rhythmic form as well as a developing pattern, but retain their chaotic and unpredictable character. Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale. ...

Transeau has developed his own method of time-correcting which he calls "nano-correcting," which is correcting any note shorter than a 64th note. He is writing a book on stutter editing and time correcting and has included a chapter on nano-correcting.^[30]

On December 23, 2007, it was revealed to the public that BT's 3 1/2 year old daughter Kaia Nui Transeau had been abducted by her mother, Ashley Duffy, during a planned visit. The date of the abduction was not specified, but it was also reported that between the abduction and the public announcement, Kaia had spoken to her father over the phone at least once, saying that her mother was yelling at and hitting her.^[31] On January 7th, 2008, a press release^[32] was issued that stated Kaia still had not been located, was now listed in the NCIC missing persons database, and included a personal statement from BT:

I am diligently and delicately working to do everything possible to amend this tragic family situation. As a father my only goal is to get my daughter back home in a stable and safe environment. I appreciate your continued support and understanding in this desperate hour.

ABC news reported on January 18th that all charges against Ashley Duffy were dropped with officials claiming that the felony arrest warrant never should have been issued. Seth Zucker, spokesman for the Montgomery County State Attorney's office is quoted as saying, "The charges have been dropped, the warrant has been squashed,It's a family law issue now for California." Ashley's mother, is also stated as saying that the mother and father will share custody of Kaia with alternating 48 hour visits until a later California family court date occurs.^[34]
