The chips used in every console from atari until the rise of disc-based gaming were instruments in-and-of themselves, capable of creating different tones and timbres. In the hands of a creative synthesist, virtual instruments were able to be made and sequenced together to create scores of classic soundtracks that made gaming history.

Safe indoors means more time for activities like video gaming, binge movie and TV-watching, and, depending on who you are quarantined with, drowning out external noise. When it comes to how we are tuning in (and tuning out at the same time), look no further than California-based audio manufacturer Audeze. Audeze’s Mobius gaming phones blew my mind. In our latest podcast, we spoke with Audeze Founder and CEO Sankar Thiagasamudram about the Mobius headphones. In this episode, he explains the history of this stunning piece of tech, while teaching us about how to shop for a new set.
