New "Mario Kart Tour" Song Cover Incoming / 2023 Anniversary Statement Still In The Works

Posted by Merit Celaire on Sunday, April 23, 2023 - 09:32 PM

Hey there, good evening, friends; snagging the opportunity on this Sunday night to briefly get you all caught up on what's happening with yours truly related to the music operations backend. Real life matters have still been getting in the way, but I've still been checking my planbook as well as music operations related correspondence to prepare for what to share with you all next. And hopefully we can do just that before this month of April is in the history books.

First and foremost, as some of you might have probably speculated, the Mario Kart Tour music arrangement spark has struck yours truly yet again; you might have noticed that recently as announced via this post from the Mario Kart Tour Twitter account, a new "tour exclusive" course got in action. At this time, I'm doing final checks on the "tracker source file" I've managed to do regarding this newest Super Nintendo music styled cover; hopefully, I can see about getting it posted to share with you all prior to midweek.

Second, I still haven't forgotten about getting the formal music operations' annual statement for 2023 written up. Hopefully after I get the latest music cover posted along with sorting other outside matters to get a much clearer head, I can at least start the process of writing the document itself. I do have an idea about the "issues" that need to be addressed in the upcoming document in question; hopefully, we can see about getting this done and posted before the end of this month or during the start of May. Stay tuned.

That's it for now, everyone; as always, if you have any further questions about what has been shared in this posting in question, please don't hesitate to let me know via this main contact form. See you all later.

Focused on Writing The "Anniversary Statement", But Still Checking Your Correspondence!

Posted by Merit Celaire on Monday, April 10, 2023 - 03:07 PM

Good afternoon, friends; I hope all of you had a fantastic Easter weekend. So here's what's happening with yours truly at this time - although I'm still in the search for new candidates of modern Super Mario game installments (main, spinoff, and branched) to do the Super Nintendo music arrangement process on, the goal for the majority of this month is to get the "formal anniversary statement" for 2023 written up and posted before the "summer months period" arrives in late May. Details about it are still under lock and key, but I will say it's going to definitely be yet another important read once I finish writing this up, so stay tuned.

That said, and in the meantime, don't forget that I still need to hear from you all correspondence wise in general for these music operations as a whole - whether it be from our main contact form and/or online suggestion forms, it still gives me clues in regards to what you hope I'll see about considering for future covers in the months to come. I'll elaborate further about this in the upcoming statement as well, but just reminding you all that these forms still do exist. Just be mindful of the "submission limit cap" by our form processing provider at Formspree.

That's all for now, everyone; if there are any new developments as always, I'll be sure to let you all know. Take care for now.

"The Super Mario Bros. Movie" Release Week - Quick Reminders

April 2023 Greetings: "Recovering" From The Past 1 - 2 Weeks

Posted by Merit Celaire on Monday, April 3, 2023 - 09:24 PM

Hey there, faithful friends/followers/listeners of these beloved music operations as a whole; hope all of you are still with yours truly as we now officially begin the "second quarter" of the 2023 year. The thing is that for me, as I briefly stated in this previous entry, I was unfortunately going through some "health turbulence" during the past 1 - 2 weeks; additionally, I was very busy writing an "opening statement" for a certain close family member of mine who as I elaborated in previous blog entries here months ago, passed away in early December of last year. Because of my "common cold" ailment (as well as a "tonsilitis issue" making it worse) that I had to endure from those past 1 - 2 weeks, I wasn't able to even make it to a planned virtual meeting to read that statement personally; however, a close family relative was able to read it on my behalf last night while I've been resting and recovering to get back to full strength for the start of this new work week (and the new month as well for these music operations).

Here's the case: I'm still in "rest"/"recovery" mode at this time (but I am closing in on getting back to full strength full force; thanks be to the Lord on that). And I am going to need to be in that "full strength" mode again because during the course of this month, I need to snag the time to see about writing that promised "music operations formal anniversary statement" for 2023 (and especially before the "summer months period" arrives come next month). As you are all already aware, the respective online form allowing you to send suggestions to me related to my preparing to write the document has now been closed until we see about doing this process again for the 2024 year. I won't disclose details in regards to what is being planned to be elaborate in the upcoming statement itself for this year, but I will say that apparently, we've got some... concerning times... coming not just for these music operations as a whole, for anyone who does videogame music arrangements opreations in general. The "threats" aimed at us have been showing themselves slowly in the past years, but not in a magnitude like what I've been personally encountering as of late. You'll find out what those threats in question are when I get that anniversary statement for 2023 written up and posted in due time. Stay tuned.

On the music arrangement planbook end regarding upcoming Super Nintendo music styled covers: I'm still checking on things on the backend before I decide on what to aim for next. I'm aware that according to our "Music Arrangements Progress Page", there are still stuff that's been in "dormancy" regarding upcoming music covers focused on songs from Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. The thing is that I still need a clearer head so I'll get a better idea about how I'm going to attack this part of the backlog, so your patience is still greatly appreciated. Not only that, but there's also a certain "someting" that I might have to prepare for down the road that's also related to future Super Nintendo music styled covers; however, the details are still under lock and key. Maybe this will be talked about even more in the upcoming 2023 "anniversary statement" as well; God only knows.

Until then, I thank you all once again for bearing with me as I get myself resituated to get back in my music operations/music arrangement groove for this new month of April. In the meantime, if you haven't done so already, please don't forget about your able to submit a follower request at our music operation's Twitter account, submit a temporary invite link request to our Discord server, join our IRC channel on EsperNet, and make sure to follow us on SoundCloud. We definitely are still in need of new interested people of these beloved music operations to join us, especially as we get ready to enter into the "summer months" period in a few weeks from now; plus, you don't want to miss any new exciting happenings when they do arrive and that include the upcoming anniversary statement for 2023 when I finish write it up before May, God willing. Take care for now until I see you awesome people again next time around; I'm gone for now.
