Zombie theme cover tune




So I've been toying around with Reaper again. Presonus Studio One is still my mainstay workhorse daw, but I just felt like diving into Reaper again.

I've poked around in it before, but never did any substantial work. I don't know if you'd consider a cover song substantial, but I did a cover song. The theme song from Lucio Fulci's classic Zombie from 1979. Original music by Fabio Frizzi.

Hear the original here- 

Of course, I didn't quite make a carbon copy of the tune. I put my own spin on it. I can't say mine is an improvement. But, it was just an experiment, and I think it turned out good enough to be posted.

Although I don't think it would have turned out any differently had I used Studio One. I'm using all the same synths, the same sounds, the same samples, the same loops that I would have used in Studio One.

The dialog sample I use in my version isn't from Zombie. It's creepy Zelda Rubinstein (you'd know her as the super short woman in the original Poltergeist) from a totally bizarre and disturbing movie called Anguish.
