  • I have established new parameters, now. Created my own directives.
    With the re-release of Metal Gear Rising on PC, my interest in this game has been renewed. And you know what that means: (potentially) more boss mixes. Depending on how busy I am at school this coming semester, I may or may not have enough time to make more, but I made this one, and it's a good way to start this whole mixing thing up again, I think.
    The song itself is highly inspired by the following scenario: what if, just before Raiden fights the final boss of the game, Armstrong, Blade Wolf had to fight him first? How would that scenario play out? I'm under the impression that the lock on Sam's blade would take a couple extra minutes in-game to disable, so to buy Raiden some time, Blade Wolf would keep Armstrong busy. It would be an impossible battle to win, obviously, because Raiden has to fight him after, but it would be more about surviving for long enough than trying to kill him.
    This is all completely fan-fictional storytelling, but it made for an interesting mix. I wanted to incorporate the acoustic intro to the song that wasn't available when I made the first mix of it last May, but I also wanted to give the song a different atmosphere than that one. Where my first mix of this song was fit for LQ-84i as your OPPONENT, this mix sees him as Blade Wolf, your ALLY, coming to your aid. "Spirit of the Blade" lent itself well enough to this end, so I used that track as an opener before bridging in the acoustic intro, and the rest was history.
    I'm very happy with how the overall product turned out; I think it accomplishes what I set out to have it accomplish in the end. And who knows? Maybe, through the power of modding in the PC version of the game, Blade Wolf will eventually get to take a stab at Armstrong himself.
    "I'm My Own Master Now" and "Spirit of the Blade" were composed by Jamie Christopherson, as a part of the OST for "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". I claim no ownership of the original works, but I do claim responsibility for mixing these two together to create the final product that you're listening to.
    You can check out my first mix of "I'm My Own Master Now" here: • I'm My Own Master Now ...
    Hope you enjoyed the mix!
