While science fiction and electronic music have intertwined at numerous points since the emergence of the genre ndash from Jeff Mills to Global Communication and beyond together with bestselling author, John Twelve Hawks, Digweed amp Muir have taken the relationship into new territory and the album, lsquoThe Travelerrsquo, is the result of this symbiotic connection.

After contacting the UK DJ and producer and an exchange that crossed several years for reasons John outlines below, they agreed to work together to bring Hawks works to life via a collaborative album, and with Hawks as the narrator. The end result saw Hawks travel to the UK in secret, he lives lsquooff the gridrsquo, hiding behind a secret identity due to his beliefs regarding the intrusiveness of the modern state and digital society ndash themes that are central to his work and recorded his spoken word contributions to accompany an electronic music soundtrack created by Digweed and Muir.
