My co-worker's brother was on tour with BT when they received the news. BT's asking for any information that might lead to her safe return- it's likely Kaia has been abducted by her biological mother.

BT made this video for Kaia as part of his "This Binary Universe" project in 2006. (new window)

Please help.

Wow.

This is very sad and maddening. Parents need to not be crazy.

However, at least it wasn't a kidnapping by a child predator.

/hey, it's something positive
//i'm a fan of bt - i hope everything works out best for the kid

Yeah, all indications are that the mother had been abusive in the past, though, so yeah. If you watch the "Good Morning Kaia" video, you can imagine how broken up BT must be about it all.

Oh my god...the comments section on that link are being filled by the grandma and all kinds of shiat.

This is not going to be pretty. Lawyers are going to shiat their pants when they read tracklists.ca

In fact, it might be better if comments were shut off.

That sucks, I can't believe a parent would ever do that to the other parent and to the child (short of abuse, which I doubt is the case, here). I like bt's stuff and hope this all gets sorted out. What a way to start and end a year.

TheKidFromDeliverance: Oh my god...the comments section on that link are being filled by the grandma and all kinds of shiat.

I'm wishing I had posted the youtube video as the link, but I didn't think about it until the deed was done.

I can't believe what Christmas must have been like for either of them.

Fair_Poopsmith: My co-worker's brother was on tour with BT

Threadjack: Who's your co-worker's brother? I've got a whole 6 degrees of BT thing going on over here...

Well, the co-worker's name is Randy, and he worked with me for a year when I was with the Disney company. I'm trying to remember his brother's name, but I can't recall now. He also toured with Loreena McKennitt not long ago.

Oh, yeah, sorry 'bout that. My bad.

Wow. I never really got into BT but I think we've got a couple of singles on vinyl. Sorry to hear about this. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard of an electronic artist doing/having anything this crazy happen to them. I guess us trance etc. people are relatively stable. Best of luck to BT and his daughter.

reveal101: Anything else you don't give a shiat about you would care to enlighten us with?

The WNBA?

Link is farked. Who is this 'bt' of which you speak??

Also a fan of BT. Hoping for her safe return.

Never heard of him, but it's sad when anyone's kid goes missing.

What the hell is the matter with this guy? He gets robbed twice, and now his daughter is kidnapped.

DUDE! GET SOME farkING SECURITY FOR PETES SAKE!!

What, does this guy have a problem with lettuce?

All those beeps, boops, chirps and whistles probably made her run away.

Wow that's SAD, there's a video of him holding his daughter while he was introducing some movie or video. Its on YOUTUBE.

His hit songs are BT- GODSPEED, a song which you don't want to listen to while driving. It'll cause you to get a speeding ticket.

His name is Brian Transeau, a Maryland Native who makes electronic music. He kind of looks like a happy sensitive emo douchebag who spent a few too many years in California, but still no deserves to lose their kid, or even worse not know what has happen to their child.

Well I use Mac/Linux...: All those beeps, boops, chirps and whistles probably made her run away.

We call that progressive

What's the difference between most people on the internet and most people in this thread?

Most people on the internet have a sense of humor.

electronic music artist BT

LOL..

Which internet have you been hanging out on?

Who is this 'bt' of which you speak??

A producer and purveyor of extraordinarily tepid and milquetoast music.

His modus operandi is to overcompensate for his lack of musical creativity through nauseating production gloss and technical proficiency.

In other words, he makes uninteresting music sound very very pretty.

You tube blocked at the ol' workplace. I'll check out Wikicrapia in a minute - thanks though...

That was a beautiful video. I'm not afraid to say it actually made me cry a little.

ohh... kinda like Moby??

Never heard of BT, feel bad about his daughter going missing...

...but I think we're in for one of those "say horrible yet funny things and then people get all pissy and other people get all 'This is Fark'" threads...

I'd be tempted to troll here, but I'm too much of a BT fan. Hope it works out for him.

/along with everybody else whose little kid has gone missing

Who is this 'bt' of which you speak??

BT = Blue Turtle

I like turtles.

looks like the link is already Farked-

not a huge fan of BT- but that's the worst...

It is sad that it happens, but it happens every day. The difference is, when it happens to your average every-day blue-collar slob, it's no big deal.

But when it happens to an artist, a millionaire, a socilite, ect the world cannot seem to shed enough tears.

ohh... kinda like Moby??

Moby has nowhere near the studio craftsmanship that BT does. Not even close.

But he has better ideas.

Ishkur: ohh... kinda like Moby??

So howcome I've heard of Moby?

i came in here to wish luck and to say that BT f*cking owns

Fibber McLiarson: Who is this 'bt' of which you speak??

Brian Transeau...Google it.

Jeff Paine: What's the difference between most people on the internet and most people in this thread?

Yeah, it's hilarious when a toddler is kidnapped. Har de har!

Fibber McLiarson: So howcome I've heard of Moby?

Because Moby is the MTV version of electronic music

BT is a pimp.

He is educated and trained in more instruments than most "Non-Electronic" artists out there, so you haters should kindly stfu. Just because you hear the word "Electonic" it doesn't mean 4-on-the-floor techno or house music. It also doesn't mean the boring shiat that Moby cranks out. Get over it. BT displays A LOT of diversity - I encourage you to check out his various albums over the years.

Bluetooth? British Telecom? Banca Transsylvania?

ohh... kinda like Moby??

Almost, but not quite as bland.

This is sad. I hope they find her...

I saw BT back when he toured for his Movements In Still Life album. Amazing show. The guy is extremely talented.

Isn't that entirely beside the point though?

BTK had some good hits.

BT sucks. And pretty much all I listen to is electronic music, so you can't blame this on ignorance.

Still, hopefully he gets his kid back. I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy (who is Moby).

Bugger... I used to trade books with Brian when I was playing. Never met a kinder soul. I hope his daughter returns safely.

cubsfan07: What, does this guy have a problem with lettuce?

I see what you did there.

Trance750

So are you saying that we shouldn't feel sorry for BT or his kid? Because I don't think anyone here feels like any other kid who was kidnapped doesn't deserve sympathy...

/really tired of that same stupid point being brought up by everyone

She's in heaven with Sean Taylor pistol-whipping people.

Wow, Ishkur, if it was anybody but you saying that, I'd say "Dang, you're being harsh.."

As it stands, however, I'll say that your statement probably does have some merit.
