While he honed his skills studying the classics, the outpourings of his imagination found inspiration in the everyday sounds most people overlook. The nighttime orchestra of insects. The meter of a grandfather clock. In order to rein the subtle beauty of these sounds into cohesive compositions, he realized he needed tools that didn't exist… yet.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;" /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">BT knew that in order to bring the music in his head to life, he needed to place himself at the razor's edge of digital innovation – he needed to become a technologist. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;" /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">Over 15 years later, in addition to composing music and recording albums of his own, BT has pushed the limits of musical technology into the records of industry giants – including the likes of Sting, Britney Spears, Peter Gabriel, and Madonna. When he discovered </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">Leap Motion</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">, he knew it was an instant fit. He also knew that he wanted to share his creative spark with the world. </span></span></div> <img align="right" hspace="5" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjzsYMc6ZwrbC3j4zxM9BeSNY5qluy1GJqB7Vcz9u8rHwMwVOGukm8yuKApbUSbppoU0Givurqo3WtBraqmNbKjCYL-L2NmHRnSKzWSn5Bgy4MRMrWa54mnA17u3P5JhCOVs1iBWXTNnVUhslst=s0-d-e1-ft" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;" width="300" /><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">That's why, along with </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://theory-x.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ca219b36a8c08d214759a7167&id=a041d8c2b2&e=43b19dd108" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Dr. Richard Boulanger</a> of the Berklee College of Music</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">, he created </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://theory-x.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ca219b36a8c08d214759a7167&id=3c05463300&e=43b19dd108" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">MUSE</a></strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"> – a brand-new app that gives you the power to create and perform your own ambient music in the air with your hands above the Leap Motion Controller. </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">MUSE</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;"> lets you reach out and layer complex chord sets, intricate drum grooves, atmospheric sounds, and more using an intuitive cubic interface to transpose in any key. </span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;" /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">Have you always fancied yourself a composer?
