Iain,
Yes I do mean BT - a.k.a. Brian Transeau (film/tv composer of Monster, Fast
& Furious, etc. and live remixing virtuoso/dj know for his micro-editing and
stutter-editing techniques. His award winning CDs include - Emotional
Technology and Movement in Still Life.)
http://www.btmusic.com/
At his invitation, I just spent the last month with him (and the whole crew
from his studio), on a tropical island, doing Csound on the beach every day.
We have been collaborating directly for some time now and are planning a
number of joint projects/workshops, lecture/concert tours, and working on
starting several summer electronic-music camps for 18-14 year-olds.
Everyone in his studio is working with Csound... They all got copies of The
Csound Book for Christmas! (In fact, I was asking the Csound developers for
the lineh and exponh opcode for him!)
One of my former students (Daniel Bierczynski) meets and works with everyone
in his studio every Monday - Csound Class a Binary Acoustics. And I have
been working directly with them via email on a regular basis. (He spends
about 4 hours a day doing Csound. It is his morning ritual.)
You will be reading all about it, when he releases the tracks. He has a lot
to say about this "tool" and the Csound way of learning and creating. The
exciting thing is that he is making the most amazing sounding instruments
and he is doing all of his composing using the note-list and macros... And
most importantly, is that it is very very very BT sounding stuff.
His plan is to release an all Csound 5.1 composition/track on his
forthcoming experimental CD later this year. He will also release all his
.orc/.sco files and some of his UDOs as well on the CD and on his site.
He would be very interested in checking out some of your work Iain. You
should pass it along to me and I will share it with him.
(Hope I haven't given away too many secrets here, but he, and many others in
Hollywood, are using Csound.)
