Early in 2005 Pendragon began to explore the Internet as a means to promote Canberra band Tribe and their album ‘The Gathering’, many tracks of which are included in This Sacred Earth: The 2012 Phenomenon. He was inspired by the idea of using the Internet to produce, write and coordinate an entire album of quality music with musicians who had never met and, in many cases, had never even conversed with each other. The result was ‘The Messages Stick’, the first album to ever be made that way, incorporating the talents of over 25 incredibly gifted musicians and songwriters from across the globe.
