Police Quest III - Crash Scene / The Accident
You can listen to and download my version of the music here:
Police Quest III - Crash Scene
Original Composer: Jan Hammer
Yes, THE Jan Hammer.. as in the composer behind the original Miami Vice television show in the 80s!
Produced by Jim Walls for Sierra and originally released in 1991. More about this game can be read HERE
This is an interesting piece and something I wanted to take a stab at from the start. It's got an amazing bluesy / rock vibe and, in my head anyway, sounded like some of the guitar heavy Hans Zimmer scores from the early 1990's such as K2 and Drop Zone, which is the exact approach I took when reorchestrating this piece. This new version features some live guitar work (performed by yours truly) and has a really cool cinematic rock vibe about it. Overall, it's pretty much a note for note recreation of one my favorite tunes from PQ3.
For reference, you can hear a version of this theme as performed on the Roland MT - 32 here:
