Sudan Archives Fronts the Cover of MusicTech Magazine’s November/December Issue, Released Alongside NME Featuring BOYNEXTDOOR
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM; 27 NOVEMBER, 2025 – MusicTech (musictech.com), the world’s leading media brand at the intersection of music and technology, unveils its November/December 2025 issue featuring the multi-talented artist, producer, and violinist Sudan Archives on the cover.
In an introspective feature, Sudan Archives reflects on personal transformation, vulnerability, and being in the driver’s seat as executive producer for the making of her latest album, The BPM, an exploration of electronic music anchored by the technological persona Gadget Girl. “All of the ideas came from my bare self,” she tells MusicTech. “It was coming from my heart.”
The issue also dives into some of the most compelling stories in modern music creation. Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and his colleagues at Telepathic Instruments discuss the blockbuster launch of their innovative chord-generating synth, the Orchid. Nation of Language and Sam Gellaitry open up about their studio processes and creative philosophies, while Shure CEO Christine Schyvinck reflects on a century of technological innovation and audio excellence.
