More Komposition
So Sticks & Stones is finished... does that mean I'm taking a break from writing? Not a chance. MORTAL KOMBAT has needs. A TON of them. It kills me that I can't tell you more about the music for this game, but what I can tell you is that every day I'm writing. This is the seventh game in the series, but the team is tolerant enough to let me leave my own mark on this music.
How am I doing this? Guitar demolition.
Hitting them, beating them, extreme wammy bar weirdness, ebowing, prepared string experiments, slash'n'hack editing, reversing the recording, sliding, scraping, striking, and of course, slamming every stomp-box and plug-in I can come up with against that signal. A lot of the time, it doesn't even sound like a guitar anymore -- but I try to always create sounds that are organic, unheard-of, and more than anything, musically effective.
I don't want to make the guitar a gimmick; I want to come up with sounds that couldn't be made any other way.

That Kombat stuff sounds like a blast.
Congrats on finishing Sticks & Stones -- easily the best title I've ever seen for a percussion concerto. When do we get a sneak peek? A page of the score, maybe? Somethin'? :)
Jim Bonney was presented in the hotel the morning of VMEA's and what was the one thing yelled over the top of everything else?!
"Fatality!"
As much as I love MK ... I dropped out of the series after the first couple for reasons I no longer remember. However, this new upcoming tittle is certainly one I will pick up ... Or I might just skip the game itself and get the sound track. -- BECUASE YOUR MUSIC IS AWESOME!! Ha!
A fan.
HAHA Just a hint, that was a bass trombonist. Jim, you are great. How did your turkey turn out?? Hope it was good. Best of luck to Mortal Kombat and Sticks and Stones. adios
I've said it before (I think) and I'll say it again...E bows KICK SOOO VERY MUCH ASS!
This is a game I will definately be buying.
I think it's possibly that you (anonymous)dropped the series because MK4 was just...not that fun nor great. However, I am all about 1&2&3, Ultimate and MK Trilogy.
