Louise Blain focuses on Virtual Reality in gaming through some of the music that these games have inspired. She is joined by the composer of 'Lone Echo' and 'Moss', Jason Graves, who talks about writing music for this comparatively new format. VR offers an opportunity for a greatly enhanced sensory gaming experience and the potential for even more imaginative game play.

Louise's selection includes Inon Zur's score for 'Eagle Flight', Jaroslav Beck's 'Beat Saber', Mike Morasky's 'Half Life: Alyx', Jesper Kyd's 'Robinson: The Journey', Jeffrey Pierce and Rob Pearsall's 'Falcon Age', Kenneth C M Young's 'Astro Bot Rescue Mission VR', Keiichi Sugiyama's 'Rez Infinite', Michael Gordon Shaprino's 'Down the Rabbit Hole, Michael Wyckoff's 'Boneworks'; as well as Lone Echo', 'Moss' and 'Moss Book 2' by Jason Graves.
