I've been thinking about how asmr relates to music quite a lot lately. Some people think it is just a weird thing, but asmr videos of people brushing onto mics are getting millions of views. I think it should rightly challenge our assumptions about what music is. I won't be surprised to hear these sounds filtering into popular music. In some ways it is similar to how harsh clipped digital distortion is fairly popular all over TikTok.

Also, I just found Olafur Arnalds from his music cribs tour on Spitfire Audio [1]. It seems he has collaborated with them on some virtual instruments. There are several videos of him on their channel including breakdowns of some of his music. The last couple of weeks I've been down a YouTube rabbit hole on these modern composers (mostly for film and television).
