I've posted stuff from this before; I certainly remember sharing Tina Guo, which is NOT something I'd do in real life, by the way. 
There's something about a woman with a Cello that can vaguely erotic, and affects me the same way as Jules's Wang predilection affects him, I'd imagine.
Anyway, that's nothing to do with this.
Composer is a mag produced by a company whose orchestral (and other) software I've used for years, some of the articles, you'll find, have tie-ins with things they produce, but that doesn't stop them from being interesting, and usually full of musical clips and snippets illustrating the particular composer from the article. They are also decently written, by professional music journos rather than something produced by an in-house dogsbody. It's far from being a "cheap" software advert. At £600.00 a pop for some of their products they don't need to do a "hard sell" you either want to buy it because you know what it does and you need it, or you don't. What I'm saying is, don't expect the articles to be chock-full of advertising.
Spitfire Audio, the software company, work with such luminaries as Hans Zimmer, Eric Whitacre, Abbey Road Studios, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Bryce Dessler (The National), the aforementioned Ms Guo, Julien Baker, Viggo Mortenson, Zack Snyder, and Max Richter are just some of the names you will recognise, although some of the names you don't recognise can be even more interesting when tied to a show, or a film, you may have seen; Everything Everywhere, All At Once, The Handmaid's Tale, and Shogun, for instance. there are also some surprisingly good examples of scoring for Video games too, which I recommend at least trying, you might be surprised by the quality and the passion.
Anywho, here's the link.

Dig in and have fun.
p.s.
Sorry if this sounds like an advert, but if I don't write something (that's hopefully at least vaguely) interesting nobody will bother to click the link, which would be a shame, and, I think, a loss.
