BT, as seen by Ishkur

BT: Artist Audit

Heh, Ishkur himself just posted that in another thread.

quote:

His music is not really all that interesting or catchy. It's really pretty to listen to and incredibly well produced, but it's like one of those meals at a fancy, 4-star restaurant delivered by three waiters, with off-white powder and intricate splotches of red sauce around the edges of the plate. And in the middle, one asparagus.

I can understand him bashing the usuals... but this is just sad. According to that tart the world is void of any music worth listening to

I agree and disagree on a lot of parts. It was a very good read however, and some of the parts were damn funny as well.

Ishkur is the Maddox of EDM.

Yeah pretty much...funnily enough, they also both have some really good points every now and then.

sean cusick already this 3(?) years ago for his column on xpander.nl, and he did it better.

Ishkur is getting old (not literally).

Sometimes when I'm listening to certain BT tracks, I could agree with some of the stuff mentioned. But I put that down to my own shortcomings rather than BT's

He has a point with the obsessive thing.

I love BT's music, and I wish I could produce like him so much, but I also think that some things he does is done just for the hell of it. But perhaps that helps his work flow?

BT's percussion has always been weak as hell in my view, but his synth work is second to none so maybe he needs to do all this processing of sound to make up for terrible 808 drum loops?

BT - Satelltie = Hella catchy and fucking gorgeous to listen too.

My post make no sense.

"This is not entirely BT's fault. He is a geek"

He is very good at what he does, but listening to him always gives you the sensation that he's trying too hard to emulate a scene, style or idea without actually understanding it, like the lone white guy in an all-black gangbang pretending he measures up.

Well put!

that's exactly how I felt after the read.

I've always felt the same way about BT. Could never really get into his stuff even though it is very well done.

Well, unless it's Daft Punk, The KLF, and italo disco.

I agree completely.

I don't find BT's music particularly interesting or inspiring at all, and besides,BT prety much is the biggest tosser going around in the dance scene, along with Sasha. Oh, and Tenaglia and Morillo too.

BT, I would consider him, originally, electronic, organic trance...but now he is more "electronic experimental" - but still organic, it's "This Binary Universe" is definately not to be pigeonholed as trance, it's really just a great experiment in bleeding edge electronic, trying a bunch of new sounding things.

This Binary Universe was absolutely amazing. Truly his Magnum Opus at this point...I definately respect BT and his level of Production, he is a master at what he does and really pushes the limit. How can ishkur bash his creativity when he spends ages writing instruments in csound, programming in max/msp and pureData and literally creating music from code.

A lot of hard work doesn't equate to interesting music. It just makes it well put together with high production quality. He said he respects him for that. Did you read the article?

that is exactly Ishkur's point if you didn't read. BT is such a perfectionist that his music ceases to be organic and creative. I don't completely agree but it is a good point.
