Words of Wisdom
In terms of interviews we spoke to experimental musician SignLibra – Agata Melnikova – to unpack the techniques involved in her engaging "musical collages". Heading back into the world of piano, we chatted to Raül Refree and Pedro Viano whose recent project saw them go big on the textures of different organ types.

Inspiring workshops
This month we added not one but two new regular workshops. First among the new series is Andy Jones' Sound Like column, which will take the techniques of iconic musicians and plant them in an easy-to-follow software context. This month: Ed Sheeran's famous looping approach. Also new to the roster is Roland Schmidt's CM Tools masterclass, which focuses on one plugin from the CM Plugin Suite each issue. Last but not least, our long-running columnists Sara Simms and Jon Musgrave continue their Dance and Mix classes, with a discussion on how to build tension and how to EQ your mix bus.
