Peter W - Turrican II (Concerto For Laser And Enemies Enhanced Mix)
This is a tribute to Chris Huelsbeck and the Amiga!
Main idea and approach to this awesome Turrican song by Chris H was to enhance the original as much as possible without sacrificing the magical sound and arrangement of the original. I Realised this wouldn't be possible without using the exact same beautifull lead instrument as in the original. I managed to sample the lead in perfect quality and make a digital imprint of the original lead. I have never before put so much time and effort into a track to make it sound exactly as I wanted it to. A music journal on how I made all this possible and how I created everything from the lead instrument to the synth pads will be posted here and on my website shortly.
To me this is how I wanted Turrican to sound like back then!
Buildtime from scratch: 8 Months
Lead sound was sampled from the original amiga song. The rest of the instruments are presets or samples tweaked by me.
This is intended to sound Amigaish and close to the original ofcourse that's the whole idea, enjoy!
