It seems like every other video game soundtrack these days is looking to analog synthesizers and the sounds of their ’80s heyday to help set the mood. You’ve even got musicians retroactively synthing up classic scores, like Luminist’s incredible remake of the Metroid soundtrack. Following in those footsteps is Switched On SNES, a new project from musician Will Patterson that seeks to reorchestrate iconic 16-bit music using analog synthesizers and drum machines. The first album in his series is a doozy: The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past.
