DANGER ZONE Cover by Supernova 49 – Top Gun Song Synth Version

Following the Top Gun theme, here is now a cover of Danger Zone, one of the best songs ever recorded by Kenny Loggins.
Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins is an iconic song from the 1986 Top Gun movie soundtrack. It was used in the Top Gun opening scene with F-14 Tomcats taking off from the aircraft carrier. This was then…
Now and in celebration of the new TOP GUN Maverick movie release, I wanted to make a second tribute track with a heavy dose of retro synth.
For the sound design, I used a creamy synth and guitar with heavy use of filters, delays and reverbs, a dark swarm pad for ambient texture with wobble effect and some drums. Of course, this 80’s Danger Zone cover would not have been complete without some good bass synth.
For the footage, without jets or a carrier at my disposal 😊 I went with a surfing theme. As a kid, I used to do windsurfing and those images sent me back to those years…
Obviously, this is not meant to be like the Danger Zone original rock version. The intent here is for an ambient version with good harmonics (higher, quieter notes), texture and melodies.
