The video game was a really fun extension of the process for us. This show could be its own cinematic universe and as new opportunities pop up, we’ll jump at the possibility to claim and conquer them. It's nice to be able to put all of the energy out there. We and the show-runners are all on the same page as far as wanting to give the music life outside of the show because then it feeds back in. Luckily for us, Sony is very organized and they have a great department that makes it happen for all of their shows, which is especially important with music being a major part of Cobra Kai. Leo - When you do a show, you're always hoping to do a soundtrack release, although the logistics of it are surprisingly complicated. Vinny - Between when you first jumped on back in season one, and now at season three going into season four, did you know that your work would take on a life of its own as music for the show, music as soundtrack release, and finally music for the video game? It's really fun for us because in every episode there is at least one, sometimes five, new interpretations of something that we haven't gotten to do before. Do this theme this way, do this theme with this other theme underneath, do this theme this other way. There are a lot of variables on the chart. A show like this is highly thematic, it also has a few specific palates that it's always living in. Leo - The deeper you get into the show, the more material you have to work with and reinterpret and re-imagine. It's smooth sailing from there, scoring in its best form. You've got all the ingredients that you know work. You've got your palette, you've got your themes. Once you're a couple of seasons deep, it's a lot easier to keep going. But with Cobra Kai, we had this vision for the music and the show-runners happened to be really into that vision. Generally we have ideas going into a project, and it's rare that those ideas get to stick because at some point along the way things change. There’s a lot of throwing things at the wall and seeing what people like.

Zach - When you're starting, it's a lot of trial and error. Vinny - When it comes to writing music for Cobra Kai, what’s the beginning of the process like? Are you going to let it inspire you, or are you going to let it haunt you?” “Whenever you start a project that's in an existing universe, especially a really famous one, there is some pressure. I had the chance to speak with Leo and Zach about how they write their music, what instruments they use, the process of working on the show, and much more.

Made in collaboration with the series show-runners, the game delivers an original two-fold story from dueling perspectives complete with character-driven cut-scenes and a classic 80’s inspired score from Birenberg and Robinson. The game and the soundtrack album will give fans added excitement as they get ready for Cobra Kai’s third season, which premieres exclusively on Netflix on January 8th. Concurrent with the game’s debut, an accompanying soundtrack album will be released by Madison Gate Records. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The highly-anticipated game is inspired by and based on the popular Netflix Original Series. A hot new video game on the shelves, Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues, features an original score by Birenberg and Robinson. For the entirety of the Netflix show Cobra Kai, the duo has created magnificent musical scores that contain retro synths, a seventy-piece orchestra, electric guitars, and strong sensibilities in the worlds of melody and harmony. Composers Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson are a force to be reckoned with on the mats.
