![THE SOUND TEST #07 - Portal (w/Mike Morasky, Jonathan Coulton and Ellen McLain) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TBc_tpyoka0/mqdefault.jpg "THE SOUND TEST #07 - Portal (w/Mike Morasky, Jonathan Coulton and Ellen McLain) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW]
With only two games, the Portal series has still managed a gigantic impact on players. Its inventive puzzles are addictive, just like the acerbic jibes of the titles main antagonist, GLaDOS. Behind it all, synth-laden drones and melodic narratives help immerse you into the haunting madhouse of Aperture Science. Its soundtrack was composed primarily by Mike Morasky, who joins me for an exhaustive journey through Portals audio. I also spoke to Jonathan Coulton, who wrote famed end-credits tracks like Still Alive and Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS herself. Together, we leave no stone unturned.

![ST2 - #15 - LucasArts: iMUSE (w/George Sanger, Clint Bajakian & Peter McConnell) [INTERVIEW/PODCAST]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tr9Ds0xPZT0/mqdefault.jpg "ST2 - #15 - LucasArts: iMUSE (w/George Sanger, Clint Bajakian & Peter McConnell) [INTERVIEW/PODCAST]
This final part of my LucasArts trilogy takes an in-depth look at the innovative iMUSE system. iMUSE was instrumental to the development of dynamic and interactive music through the 90s, and I welcome back Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian to discuss its impact. Im also pleased to present more insight from the incomparable George Sanger, who wrote dynamic soundtracks for games like Capture the Flag and Wing Commander (before the creation of iMUSE). Along the way, all three guests take an extended look at PC sound chips, and how they evolved across the digital audio revolution.
Im very pleased to present this jam-packed conclusion to a long and rewarding series of LucasArts podcasts. Its been some time in the making, but Im back! Expect more Sound Test documentaries in the future, including further insight from George and Clint. My next episode will concentrate on the music of thatgamecompany, with their principle composers - Vincent Diamante and Austin Wintory.

This second part of The Binding of Isaacs musical story moves into its remake, Rebirth. This version of the game received a makeover in practically every area, including music. Its new soundtrack by RIDICULON took a different path to Danny Baranowskys, but hit the nail on the head in brand new ways. Here, both Jon Evans and Matthias Bossi go into detail about their approach.
