BT & Laptop Symphonies

From this:

yadda yadda yadda wtf his hair

yadda yadda yadda emotional technology sucked

yadda yadda yadda stolen equipment

OK

So from the sound of it, a laptop symphony is serious business. Does anyone else do stuff like this? Can anyone be listening & be able to tell the difference between this & a regular DJ set? Is BT just trying to make himself unique? If so, doesn't that make him a nerdy, pompous asshole?

Doesn't matter what he has done, what he's doing now is fucking pathetic.

I've always found him to be extremely nice and modest about what he does the few times I've met him and seen him perform.

his so called laptop symphony is just him running a cracked version of virtual dj.

seems like he's just keeping up to speed and doing his own thing.

I see laptop symphony's as his version of djing. he finds it more applicable to his style. i respect that. its not groundbreaking but its nothing to hate on. i bet if he called it djing people would start be-rating him based on the fact that he used the term.

There's always something to complain about.

isnt it just a normal livegig?

Posted by Evol` on Oct-22-2009 16:07:

Yes it is, with just a bit more effects and sampling, and way more bitching about it.

Mr next generation himself. When he dies, they should just burn down the whole cemetery and dedicate the whole burial ground to his name, for his body alone encompasses the brilliance of infinitely many. Dynamic Symmetry wasn't made by a symphony, or an orchestra, it was one man alone in his private studio (emphasis on the 5 MAUDIO BX5s with subwoofer). Listening to it in surround sound is like having Martin Luther King Jr, Albert Einstein, Franklin Roosevelt, Leonardo da Vinci and Alexander the Great all bombarding you with guidance from every angle. Yes, he is a symphony of higher intellect.

It's just so hard for me to look at the booklet to This Binary Universe and see Brian Transaeu as the sole writer, producer, director and maker of Dynamic Symmetry. It's taken me 3 years and 3 artists to publish my first children's book.

Also, if you play dynamic symmetry backwards, it's the exact same song as playing forwards.

Let's see Jim Morrison do that.

+1. Say what you want about him, the man is a creative genius. He broke so many genre boundaries in This Binary Universe, his accomplishments alone include composer, score writer, music software programmer, 5.1 surround sound mixer, producer, remixer, audio engineer, plays multiple instruments, graduate of Berklee College of Music at age 17/18. Pioneer of the progressive trance/house genre.

Not groundbreaking?! He was doing this shit when most people were still figuring out CDJs. BT is pretty much solely responsible for the whole software based DJing trend AND Ableton's popularity
