Sandstorm by Darude (from Finland) was first released in late 1999 and sold more than 1 million copies in the USA. The original length was 7:26. My short cover is 1:31 and was made for my amazing sister Nicola.  I have detailed how I made this song at www.davebstevens.com/music

Sandstorm

I took a track I made for an ixi Music Patreon challenge and replaced all the instruments with Cherry Audio's Sines.

Recordings of the BART, recorded in San Francisco's Powell Street Station, manipulated with AudioThing's Noises, then modulated repeatedly using Cableguys' Shaperbox. All the Shaperbox modulations used  the barcode from a packet of Walker's Shortbread Fingers to define the gates. These, depending on the effect, are then stretched between 1/16 and 32 bars.
