Ive always liked music. I find it one of the most if not THE most profficient way to evoke memories and journeys into the mind of its spectators.

So, as a listener, I always search for the music that makes me travel, or the music that breaks molds , or the music that is made following another standards other than the current.

"This Binary Universe" by BT reunites this three characteristics.

A bit of story first.

BTs real name is Brian Transeau. "Brian Transeau was born and raised in Washington D.C. in a very musical family. At the age of two Brian began playing the piano and held an extreme interest in music of all genres. At thirteen Brian began composing and studying orchestras and string arrangements, which is obviously incorporated into his music today" (kludgemagazine.com)

This has been demonstrated a large number of times, since he was the composer of not only the super fast "The Fast and The Furious" soundtrack, but also the moody and very haunting soundtrack for "Monster"

He has also collaborated in a high numer of other soundtracks like Tomb Raider and 60 Seconds.

I got to meet him for those soundtracks. Im a fan of electronic music, in all its shapes and forms, and BTs unusual sounds and metrics are something that catches anyones ears immediately.

So, having said all that of his previous work what can we say of his latest work?

That it is BRILLIANT.

"This Binary Universe" is a music meant to be listened with an open mind. This doesnt mean it will only appeal a specific crowd. It means that you must open your mind to the amount of aureal information your brain is going to receive.

The music has many layers, working in the different channels of the wonderful DTS(r) system. Youll listen to something but then another sound will get your attention and so on, taking you for a ride in which your imagination will trigger image after image to acomodate the evocative power of the music.

Another asset is the versatility of the songs. While "All That Makes Us Human Continues" is a moody song, extremely touching and quite sensitive, "Dynamic Simmetry" borders on jazz. Meanwhile, "Internal Locus" sounds aerial in shape, and takes you for a flight in the deepest recceses of your mind. "1.618" does s a great job in making you feel witness of the process of creation of anything that forms in your brain while you listen, and unconsciously you will try to break the music in tiny bits to swallow it better.

And that happens with all songs. A personal favourite of mine was "The Antikythera Mechanism". This song is in my opinion, the best rendition music can do to life evolution. Starts slow, taking your hand gently, then it starts to take you faster until it reaches a climax in which you no longer are bound by gravity and you find yourself flying into the space.

It is that good.

So, as a final suggestion, go to the dArt meeting if you can. Not only will you meet $lolly which is already awesome, but you will witness one of the most impressive blast to your senses ever.
