Passport was originally conceived as a marimba/steel pan duo, with an eye towards Liam's participation in this project. After playing through it a few times, we agreed that it would be a good idea to expand the instrumentation, which eventually grew to this version.
Erik really adds some nice color to this performance with his tasteful percussion playing, especially the simple - but very well executed - shaker work behind Liam's solo.
