Whether you play it consistently or, as I do, play it for two weeks straight and then hold off for a few months, The Sims has gone through many iterations, with each providing a unique soundscape that immerses the player in their experience.

Welcome to the final episode of SYNC on Twitch! Today, we're talking about sitcoms: specifically Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Welcome to the Soundtrack Summer series, where we explore one collection of work each episode and break down how music affects both the fictional world and the viewer experience. Spinning Out is an immaculate show on Netflix about skating, family, and mental health, and the music plays a key role in setting the soundscape of both the skating world and a person's inner demons. I talk about the soundtrack and how the use of classical composition mixed with a specific subgenre of placed songs creates a compelling piece of art.
