This month's dispatch from the front line of computer music-making takes us deep into the virtual world. Video game composer Jason Graves talks us through his incredible new score for the immersive Still Wakes the Deep, and staying on topic, we took an in-depth look at the current state of play in the VR and AR space.
Inspiring Workshops
In our monthly expert features, Roland Schmidt kicks off with a session on how to craft a sequencer polysynth patch, Sara Simms buckles up for some country-style EDM and Jon Musgrave advises on best practice for panning.
