  • This Binary Universe" CD/DVD Called "The First Major Electronic Work of the New Millennium"
    July 12, 2006 DTS Entertainment Releases Groundbreaking Work by BT; "This Binary Universe" CD/DVD Called "the First Major Electronic Work of the New Millennium" AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2006--DTS Entertainment, the entertainment label of DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI), today announced an August 29th street date for "This Binary Universe," the newest release from legendary musician/composer/producer BT. A groundbreaking two-disc set that is part record, part short film series, the CD/DVD combines seven unique tracks composed in 5.1-channel surround sound fused with stunning animations by some of today's finest computer artists and animators. "This Binary Universe" is a journey of sight and sound, on the artistic and technological cutting edge of both music and animation. Stephen Fortner, Technical Editor at Keyboard Magazine, has called "This Binary Universe" "...fine art that works on many levels, mind-bendingly deep but a pleasure to kick back and just listen to. In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major electronic work of the new millennium. It's that good." "This Binary Universe" unifies the two genres for which BT is most well known: electronic music and film scoring. Varying from lo-fi classical pieces with jazz chord structures to glitch and IDM-influenced micro-rhythmic, introspective, electronic tone poems, BT utilizes hand-designed digital instruments alongside a broad range of analog musical instruments to create a work that defies classification. Additionally, all of the animations have been created in high definition, allowing the album to be shown in cinemas in full resolution with a 5.1-channel soundtrack, as well as providing the option to utilize the content in the next-generation, high-definition optical disc formats Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD.
