Music is a strange thing, perhaps the strangest amongst all the artforms for it conjures up feelings with every note and every beat. These feelings are often familiar but sometimes completely alien, yet almost always, it is attached to a story that is deeply personal. Vinay Kaushal is a master of this art. With every reverb and delay-laden note from his guitar, he creates an atmosphere that allows for a universe of stories to unfold like interstellar molecular clouds giving birth to stars that will eventually light up the entire cosmos. This magical phenomenon is clear in his album Skyscapes: Ambient Guitar World, released by Chapel of Rock and now available for sync through APM Music.

In this episode of Sound Screen, we caught up with Vinay to talk about his life, career, and his album. Listen now.

In this episode, Ted Reyes talks to one of the pioneers of video game music, Brian Schmidt, who discussed his career and how he used APM Music for the new game Mutant Football League.
