This is an updated version of my instrumental cover of visually-impaired French singer Gilbert Montagné's 1984 comeback hit 'Les Sunlights des Tropiques', which he composed with Italian producer Dario Farina, with lyrics by Didier Barbelivien. The song is featured on his 1984 album 'Liberté' (Disques Carrère / Baby Records).
My version was sequenced, recorded and mixed in Presonus' Studio One DAW, using the following instruments:
- Korg Kronos: pianos (three layers: CP70, DX5 and acoustic piano) and cymbals
- Presonus Impact XT: drums
- Arturia DX7V: several FM synths and lower-volume synth bass
- Roland Jupiter-X: main synth bass and all other synths
- Fender Stratocaster: a couple of notes in the second verse.
The Lexicon reverb plugin was changed to the Arturia LX-24 (in Room mode).
