Doom crossing: eternal horizons. YouTube it. Prepare for a great time.

My recommendation is Що Ти Собі Думаєш (or What Do You Think of Yourself) by Dakh Daughters. I wanted to shout them out because they have an album coming out this Friday (February 12th) called Make Up. If the music is even somewhat appealing, I'd recommend watching live footage because it really puts the music into perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zjb4-XzkZI
I really liked the discussion on whether it's possible to evaluate Dance music if you don't go out to dance parties. Personally, I really love listening to House while working, and I would say you can absolutely judge something outside of the intended context; it's just a different type of evaluation. What other genres are have a designated context or time/location (for you), and do you listen to them outside that context? In that spirit, here is my favorite track from 2020, a house track in a year with zero dance parties: Jayda G - Both of Us (probably best to play the edit, spectacular drop starting from 1:10)

Hi Gerath, Hypothetically, if any of the games you worked on released as just a black screen, what parts of the composition would most help someone to visualize what is happening onscreen and what is the writing process for that specific section?

Hello Faders! I have more than once listened to the Ori soundtrack without even playing the game. Such wonderful music, and I was curious what inspired the score for you, Mr. Coker? -Geoff aka Groffles

Hi gang! My question is for Gareth. Gareth, I'm very much looking forward to hearing more of the Halo infinite score as from what I've heard so far, you captured the original trilogy's tone and soundscape perfectly! Coming from Ori, what was the main difference in terms of your approach to composing the score for Infinite compared to Ori? Keep on keeping on, Noah D.

What's the most underrated Beatles song?

Yasiin Bey/ Mos Def - New World Water. Every bit relevant today as it was in 1999.
What's the last song you got stuck in your head and loved every second of?
My question is why don’t more songs use tuba? I’m a little biased, but it offers so much character and personality to your bass line! Free the tuba! My song this week is a favorite from the Ori Soundtrack: The Waters Cleansed
