    我为什么做《外镜》：从国际媒体看中国

    这一期，我第一次用中文做节目。 我在北京生活过一年。那时候，我有一个中文名字：罗良勇。 离开中国快二十年以后，我想用中文讲一件和那段经历有关的事。 当年住在中国时，我常常发现，自己每天看到的生活，和外国媒体描述的中国，并不总是同一个东西。 我认识驻华记者，也和他们做过朋友。我知道他们怎样生活，也知道他们怎样写中国。 后来，有中国朋友问过我一个很直接的问题： “西方为什么总是这样说我们？” 很多年后，我做了《外镜》。 《外镜》不是一份替中国说话的报纸，也不是一份替西方说话的报纸。 它做的事情很简单： 把中国大陆、香港和台湾以外的国际媒体正在怎样报道中国，直接放在中国读者面前，并清楚告诉你消息来自哪里。 你不需要相信《外镜》。 你可以直接去看原来的报道。 这一期，我讲《外镜》为什么会出现，它怎样工作，它为什么有中文版和英文版，以及为什么我宁可有一天不出版，也不愿意为了填满版面而编一条新闻。 《外镜》waijing.news 从国际媒体看中国。

    The Making of SAM — David Axtell on writing the score

    The Making of SAM is a walk through the score, not a single afternoon in the studio. In this episode of Between the Covers & Beyond, David Axtell talks through how SAM | The Return was written: the score is the piece, the days of work become one film, and patience is part of the method. The booklet behind that method is The Band You Can Afford, by Luigi Pascal Rondanini. It is a practical guide to composing and producing with REAPER and free virtual instruments. Pay what you want, from £0. Suggested contribution £4.99. Every reader receives the same complete edition. Get the booklet: https://rondanini.com/the-band-you-can-afford/ REAPER is the paid program in the book. On SAM, Starbreath (bansuri), the sympathetic sitar, and Affinity are also paid tools. The book names free substitutes for the same kind of work. MuseScore, used for the score, is free. The drums you hear are one-shot samples standing in for the written tabla part — not a tabla player, and not a generated performance.
