Cave diving is serene and otherworldly but being with sharks is to be with one of the most elegant creations amongst us. That's a super tough one but I will go with Shark Diving. What's more fun, cave diving, or shark diving? Have a motivating purpose and make decisions with that as your source. Finally be about something other than music. If you enjoy EDM, study Jazz, your music and you as a person will benefit greatly for it. Next is constantly go outside your comfort zone. In that, eventually you will find your own voice. Listen to music you love and copy all you can. My practical advice is to pick a DAW and learn it thoroughly. But it this good? It may sound "exciting" but does it serve a compositional purpose above catching someones attention? My belief is that in order to make something substantive and lasting, no stone should be left unturned, no effort left un-taken and not path left unexplored. For example, anything can be made "loud" now. There are also pitfalls to all of these exciting opportunities which in my estimation need to be weighed in relation to the relative potential output of the opportunity. I think there is so much happening right now that is exciting. Secondly it is a very conscious decision and I truly appreciate your observation.Īs a followup, what advice would you give young producers who would like to walk a similar path of being "additive"? How can they best maximize their exposure while remaining true to their own core beliefs and personal message?

Well first, a very deep and humble thank you. The question that follows is: is this a conscious decision and something you think about regularly, or is this just your nature? In our estimation, your legacy is indeed "additive" as you say, and we give you deep respect for that. You do it in a humble way which has never been ostentatious or preachy, but rather in a graceful manner which is extremely effective, powerful, and ultimately just simply "cool".


In a world where material with "dark" themes has repeatedly been "trending" over the years and many artists and producers easily succumb to the temptation to "people please" by making such things, you seem to always have found a way to take the road less traveled and insert a positive implicit messages into your work. Throughout the years your work has always seemed to take inspiration from ideologically pure places. BT joined the Armada music label in May 2012. It’s that good.” Throughout his illustrious career, BT has been able to seamlessly weave together complex, groundbreaking musical elements into compositions that resonate with listeners of all types without seeming academic and incomprehensible. As Keyboard Magazine wrote in their review of the album, “In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major work of the new millennium. On his last full-length LP, This Binary Universe, he created an entirely new genre of evocative electro-acoustic music. With his latest two-hour, double-disk opus, These Hopeful Machines, BT definitively weaves both the technical prowess and compositional mastery that reminds us all why he’s the composer that all other composers and producers study. He has composed unforgettable scores for films The Fast and the Furious, Partysaurus Rex, Go, Stealth and Oscar-award winning Monster. An internationally-renowned recording artist himself, he is trusted by superstars such as Sting, Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Madonna, Seal and Peter Gabriel to produce modernist and memorable hits, with a bleeding-edge electronic flair. Given his enviable resume and illustrious fifteen+ year career, it is difficult to imagine that platinum-selling artist, visionary producer, film composer and technologist BT may only now be beginning to create the best work of his career.
