BT on the unexpected collaboration that brought his production language into mainstream pop. In conversation with Paul Thomson, BT recalls discovering that members of NSYNC, including Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez, had been coming to his shows while on tour. Fans of his music, they asked him to work on a pop record and gave him the freedom to bring his more experimental production ideas into the session. The result was Pop, a track that carried techniques BT had been exploring in electronic music into a much wider cultural space. For him, part of the excitement was seeing those sounds connect with a new audience and begin to ripple through contemporary production. Watch the full Composer Conversation on YouTube.

BT on using the orchestra as a place for discovery. In conversation with Paul Thomson, he reflects on experimenting with unusual articulations and aleatoric techniques, often asking principal players what they can do that composers rarely request. Those less familiar gestures can reveal entirely new colours within an ensemble. For @BT Music , that process connects to a wider fascination with stripping music back to its underlying materials, finding the raw behaviours of sound that can become the starting point for something new.

BT explores the stereo modulation system inside Phoenix, where a single modulation source can behave independently across the left and right channels. By separating the two sides, BT demonstrates how contrasting rhythmic patterns can create intricate movement across the stereo field. The same approach extends into FM ratios, wavetable positions and effects, allowing each side of a patch to evolve with its own character. For BT, this level of control opens up a spatial depth he has spent years pursuing, with movement built directly into the synthesis itself. Watch the full walkthrough on YouTube now.
