Emily Reese has a conversation with Inon Zur about his music for Syberia: The World Before. The music in this game is special for several reasons. One of the main characters is a concert pianist and part of the game is set in 1937 with clear parallels to World War II - all of this sets the stage for some great music.
In the latest episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, Oliver Kadel, Monica Bolles and Bjørn Jacobsen are joined by Ken Felton, Sound Designer at Spatial. In this episode, they discuss the Spatial technology and its entire ecosystem of tools, exploring the breadth of implementation options and some recent case studies.
Music producer, singer, and songwriter Unlike Pluto (AKA Armond Arabshahi) talks with Akash Thakkar about what it's like to be a full-time creative, the highs and lows of releasing monstrously successful #1 hits, producing music when you don't feel like it, what it's like being the child of immigrants, and so much more.

Episode outline: ‘We conclude our special coverage of sound design for video games by interviewing the sound team at Gearbox Software, which famously created “over one billion guns” for its latest first-person shooter, Borderlands 3. So how exactly does a team design the sound for so many different guns? Turns out, it’s actually kinda fun.’

Episode outline: ‘Hear a conversation with Inon Zur about his music for Syberia: The World Before. The game comes out in February 2022, but the soundtrack came out late last year. That gave me the chance to speak with Inon about all of the music, and the music in this game is special for several reasons. One of the main characters is a concert pianist and part of the game is set in 1937 with clear parallels to World War II – all of this sets the stage for some great music.’

Episode outline: ‘When The Sims was first being developed, the creators faced a problem. They knew they wanted these characters to talk and interact, but they were worried that using a real language would quickly get repetitive and annoying. So, they decided to make one up. This is the story of Simlish: How it was created, why it works so well, and why artists ranging from The Black Eyed Peas to The Flaming Lips have re-recorded their songs in this gibberish language. Featuring Sims Designer & Voiceover Director Claire Curtin, Composer & Audio Director Jerry Martin, voice actress Krizia Bajos, and Youtuber Rachybop.’
