Traveller's Peace by Duncan Park
Whether travelling from the backwoods to the city, from order to chaos... from loss to hope, or finally, from life to death - good luck on your road. And may you achieve the attainment of Traveller's Peace.
Recorded directly to cassette in Durban, South Africa, December 2021. Then sent to the Sound-O-Mat in Portland, Oregon, USA, for further recording, engineering, destruction and reconstruction, January - August 2022. Includes salvaged recordings from the archives of Thee Mighty Rob Vaughn, and featuring glorious contributions from Rob V. himself, alongside the mysterious T.T. Walker, Yon Grayson McGuire, and Liam Grant.
Immense thanks, love and appreciation to: Rob V., Yon Grayson McGuire, T.T. Walker, Liam Grant, Matthew the Kind, Big Willy G. Randles, and Sweet Creez.
