Brian Transeau (born Brian Wayne Transeau on October 4, 1971, in Rockville, Maryland) is a musician who records under the stage name BT. Classically trained from the age of 13, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for one year before dropping out and moving to Los Angeles, California, and then back to Washington, D.C…

Brian Transeau is the father of a young daughter, Kaia. He lives and composes his works in his Los Angeles home/studio in which he has a few Apple G5’s and 8 AMD dual-core Opteron 64-bit desktops which he uses for his techno-wizardry.

BT has 5 albums, 18 film-scores, and dozens of club-hit singles and remixes. His latest album, “This Binary Universe” (released August 29, 2006), was composed in 5.1 surround sound and contains animated videos for each song, presenting a new way of experiencing music.

BT works with multiple computers and the CSound programming language to help craft his work. He also owns a company, Sonik Architects, which develops both VST and VSTi programs which he uses in his own productions. Currently in Beta, these programs are slated for public sale and use in 2007.

It's awesome that bt's letting people download This Binary Universe, but you MUST buy the album to watch the incredible fusion of music and video in 5.1 surround sound. You think TBU is great? Just wait 'til you experience it in its most radiant form!

I spent many an hour on the beach listening to tracks like Flaming June but Remember is the one that really does it for me. It reaches right in and tugs at your heart strings!

Good Morning Kaia is by far one of his best pieces of work. Thinking about it further, Binary Universe is one the best electronic music albums ever.

BT does tracks with Tiesto...so why would he be insulted to be compared to him??? And for the record...Paul Oakenfold is NOT TRANCE and nothing like Tiesto...thats an insult to Tiesto.

BT isn't trance. trance is nothing like this at all. composition like this takes time, talent, and a lot of dedication to produce. actual trance "composers" are hacks. if i were Transeau, I'd be insulted to have my music compared to the likes of tiesto and paul oakenfold.

It's amazing how such great music (This Binary Universe) comes from someone who makes music I never appreciated. Hope he continues this type of music from now on in. It's a talent he can't just leave on one album.
