How did you guys discover Shostakovich? Personally, I discovered him the usual way - watching a YouTube video of an Irish guy having a full-on mental breakdown over music notation software back in 2020, and deciding that I absolutely needed to watch all of his other videos. One of those videos was on Shostakovich, and I was pretty new to composition at the time, so I was avidly curious to hear about this composer and his struggle against musical censorship. Then and there he cemented himself as my favourite composer of all time, and I have never been the same since

one of my favourite youtubers has to be Martin ‘Tantacrul’ Keary. an extremely impressive man with an extremely impressive CV and an extremely impressive job and he spends his offhours making videos that descend into eldritch nightmare gore. and now he’s the lead designer of Audacity

tantacrul: i made a video where Shostakovich vomits a torrent of blood on your ugly software

MuseGroup: excellent. would you like to be in charge of it. and we’re also buying audacity and making you the boss of that too
