Title: Sand studio remake

This is my studio remake/interpretation of Sand (Phish). It's some what busier than the original, but I wanted to create some dubby ear candy sound layering, much like a dub track or remix would have, but most every part was actually played or sung. My hard drive crashed and I lost the whole project before I could add in harmony/backing vox, and a guitar jam part section after the lyrics end.

If I called it a remix people might think I just sampled the song and didn't actually play/sing anything etc. The only samples/loops I used were for the drums, one rasta vocal sample in intro, and the rainstick/waves sounds. Bass line is played on a keyboard (friend is borrowing my Squire P/J Bass Special at moment). The rest is either played/keyboard or sung. The whammy guitar layer is on a loop in Ableton Live like Trey would use his Boomerang while playing live.
