The Secret of Monkey Island Theme - Multi-Instrumental Cover

I wrote and recorded this arrangement of the Secret of Monkey Island opening theme, which is one of my favorite pieces of music from one of my favorite video games. I hope you dig it! You can listen to an audio-only version over on Soundcloud:   / the-secret-of-monkey-island   I still remember when I realized the Monkey Island CD-ROM would also play the game's soundtrack if I put it in my stereo. After that, I spent more time listening than I'd spent beating the game. Returning to the music all these years later, I was struck by how intricate and interesting the arrangement is - there are all these neat counter-melodies and curlicues in there underneath the main melody; some pretty hip rhythmic stuff in there, too. I tried my best to capture all of that in this arrangement. The music sounded different on different sound cards, but this version sounds closest to the one I grew up with, so that's what I based this arrangement on:    • The Secret of Monkey Island - Enhanced CD ...   I recorded everything off and on over the course of a few weeks in my home studio, using Logic Pro X for editing and mixing. I made the video with the trial version of Final Cut Pro X, which I've never used before (I don't know what I'm doing lol) but it was pretty fun. I want to make more videos like this, so if you'd be into that, let me know in the comments.
