"How to start a post writing something different as introduction?" 📖

Hope you're doing well! First, as you may have noticed, the Mortal Kombat 11 updated editions have been uploaded on the channel over the weekend.

These edits are enhanced versions (Phase 2 style) compared to my first upload back in late 2023 (Phase 1): round 2 & round 3 tracks have been mixed to introduce some kind of introduction themes, just like in MK1 – but without the specific available materials. But that's not all, there's also better overall mixing to cut/extend some specific plays... creating build-ups and better connections with the high-intensity musical samples.

📌 So, now, what's next?

➡️ First, the project priorities: I'll keep the focus on Mortal Kombat 11 to complete the re-edition, and I really think of moving on to the Resident Evil 4 Remake DLCs sometime after. The official backlog remains the same, just shifting some priorities. (Ref: "Project Log" Post)

➡️ Second: you may have noticed, some of the latest tracks sound a little different (Goro's Lair 1, 2 and 3). Well, that's because I'm experimenting with more Phase 3 edits... Phase 3 is me starting to write extra musical arrangements to reinforce the track's musicality on extended loops. The track is becoming a little more interesting on extended plays because the original loop can be a bit repetitive. Now the track becomes more "evolutive" and engaging on long plays.

For now, I'm not pushing a lot of them because:

1. It takes a little more time to make (actually, I wrote the arrangement of Goro's Lair 3 the day before upload :D – one of my quickest compositions).

2. I don't want to "ruin" the experience of the track with a bad orchestration: I have to find the right instruments to make the track shine – Matthias Wolf for instance being very orchestral, it's easier for me because we share kind of matching harmonic styles (yet he is a professional composer).

For the next few days, I've been tasked to work on a musical arrangement of a classical piece (Oh Yeah!), so I'll come back a bit later with the list of tracks I'll prepare for the next Mortal Kombat 11 batch under the Mortal Kombat 1 stages.

Keeping you in the loop!
