About this audiobook

A musician on the road travels with an ear to the ground.

This story of a search for sound involves encounters with random buskers, sublime jazz festivals, quirky folk musicians and singers of many nationalities.

Tales of suitcases, sculptures and instrumental characters collide in a compendium of discoveries across the island state of Tasmania, to southern Europe and back.

A travelogue memoir with lyrics and jottings from a community artist and a sub plot - There is no Planet B
