[MPA] BT, wow....

[Jay Myres]

... am I the only person under 30 on this list?

If you'd like to see the lowdown, go to  http://www.vintagesynth.com/,  
then click on "artists" at the upper left, then click on "BT" among the 
artist on the page (the others there are very interesting too.)

BT is pretty much credited with inventing Trance while he was living in 
Europe in the mid-90's.  He is also the person who single-handedly 
popularized the use of stutter-edits (ie *Nsync's hit "Dirty Pop"), 
granular synthesis, and Kyma (a $$$ computer-based dsp/ synth system).

He has remixed everyone, including *Nsync (Dirty Pop"), Tori Amos 
("Blue Skies"), Sarah McLachlen ("I Love You"), Peter Gabriel, Seal, 
Madonna and pretty much anyone else who is making cool music right now.

The reason Apple chose him to do the G5 demo is because he is one of 
the top users of Logic in the world and he loves Macs.  And because 
they new he would have that G5 running for it's life in very short 
order.
