History Music / BT

BT is the stage name of Brian Wayne Transeau (born October 4, 1971), a prominent electronic musician. His signature style includes a lot of post-processing effects, oftentimes making you think that your UsefulNotes/MP3 player has crashed horribly or become possessed by [[EldritchAbomination something quite unpleasant]]. Despite this, his music is still precisely rhythmical, insanely catchy, and omnipresent.

His 2010 album ''These Hopeful Machines'' was nominated for a UsefulNotes/GrammyAward in the "Best Dance/Electronica" category, losing to [[Music/LaRoux La Roux's]] self-titled album.

* {{Bishonen}}: Oh yes.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}: [[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Tokyo Mater]]'' (Complete score)

To be additive. I wish in some small way to [[AWorldHalfFull bend the collective human narrative towards the positive.]]\\

To make music that makes people [[YouAreNotAlone feel connected & less alone.]] That inspires people to face life and even if they fail to do so with dignity."''

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory Toons: [[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Partysaurus Rex]]'' (complete score, minus some musical cues from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'')

*** "The Ghost In You" - A SofterAndSlowerCover of the song by the The Psychedelic Furs. Here, many of the instruments are actually [[DoingItForTheArt recorded on classical tape decks]].

* EpicRocking: Barring Sasha's 42 minute DJ mix on BT's debut album ''Ima'', most of the standalone songs fit the bill: the two-part "Loving You More" is a total of 13 minutes; "Blue Skies", another two-parter, is 17 minutes; and "Divinity" is 11 minutes. They don't call it "epic house" for nothing.
** Sasha, who had a penchant for long songs back in the day, also did a 12-minute remix of "Embracing the Sunshine", and a 13-minute mix of "Remember".
** The majority of songs on ''ESCM'' were also over 8 minutes in length, culminating with the awesome 11-minute "Content".
*** "Content" proper is actually around 8 minutes in length; following nearly two minutes of silence, there is a short hidden track starting at 9:51. It is a small orchestral version of "Flaming June".

** The credits for the song "Le nocturne de Lumière" on ''These Hopeful Machines'' list "who knows what else" after all of the conventional (and non-conventional) instruments, and all of the software BT wrote himself.

* GreatestHitsAlbum: Electronic Opus, a collection of BT's greatest hits reimagined with an orchestra.

* SweetDreamsFuel: ''This Binary Universe'' filled this void for several of his fans. His daughter's appearance on "Forget Me" also had the same effect.

* ''AlphaProtocol'' (complete score)

** ''This Binary Universe'' was a complete GenreShift to experimental, ambient and new age electronica (influenced by CreatorBreakdown due to his equipment being stolen and his daughter's kidnapping.) ''If the Stars Are Eternal, So Are You and I'' and ''Nuovo Morceau Subrosa'' followed suit with more glitch, dark ambient, drone music and chillstep (an ambient form of dubstep.)
