"Next I sent these recordings to the other side of the world and into the hands of ‘West Coast Mystic’ Rob Vaughn. After some initial work he suggested that they could be expanded upon and developed into a far greater piece of work than the basic cassette demos of its conception. From there, he plunged into his archive of recordings including complimentary performances by some great American players such as Liam Grant, Grayson McGuire and T.T. Walker, as well as his own contributions, and worked with me to integrate these with the initial songs and ideas.

"Worth noting, the summery feel and reference in the album's opening track allude to the fact that December marks the Summer Solstice in South Africa. The recordings have a marginally psychedelic-tinged but accessible and welcoming folk sound, and there is a resounding beauty and feeling of wonder, exploration and euphoric discovery across these musical performances.

"The finished album is a remarkably coherent piece of music which explores themes pertaining to the many travels we undertake through this life - the transition between life, death, and rebirth, spiritually, metaphorically and literally; the social, ecological and apocalyptic path of commoditization of our collective species; the transcendental journey embarked upon through the performance of music; the peace we land upon across these travels - the attainment of Traveller's Peace. Aurally, the music is rooted in acoustic folk traditions, with streaks of psychedelic exploration, American Primitivism, zen-like ambience, archaic drones and some degree of pop sensibility.

"Hopefully the essence of these travels is conveyed to the listener during their unique journey, culminating in the manifestation of peace."
