Simon the Sorcerer - Main Theme on Modular Synthesizers, Volca Beats & MicroBrute #TTNM

Published on Oct 21, 2014 The Tuesday Night Machines

"Synthesizer cover of the main theme from the Simon the Sorcerer video game soundtrack.

The original score was composed by Adam Gilmore from Media Sorcery for the "Simon the Sorcerer" point and click adventure computer game, made by Adventure Soft. My arrangement is based on the video game music of the DOS version, adapted for monophonic synthesizers and re-arranged a little here and there ;-)
