An interesting piece not so much about music so much as about the rhythm of video games and how good controls feel very much like playing a musical instrument.

This I found particularly interesting, as it highlights misunderstandings I've come across before - certainly there have been times when I've expected to deal with an engine programmer and got an implementation programmer, and vice versa. I haven't had the opportunity to work with many dedicated audio programmers, but they definitely need better treatment and understanding all around, and the truly great ones - the ones that truly know audio as well as they know their languages - are precious and rare. I'm looking forward to more in the series.
