Karl played all of the instruments and mixed the song. "Solar Skank Seed Sowers Bank" was finished there in one evening. It began with the collaboration of Karl Pitterson, who was Bob Marley's mixing engineer at the time. This began an ongoing pilgrimage to Tuff Gong Studio to record original songs, starting in October 1978. This led to his meeting with the Tuff Gong on Apat 56 Hope Road, Kingston Jamaica the day of the One Love Concert. He found instead his ancient connection within the Rastafarian Family. In 1976, by mystic revelation, Iword was enlightened by the profound significance of Bob Marley and the Wailers music and went to Jamaica seek the prophet, priest, and King of Reggae, but discovered that Bob had left due to internal political strife. Iword and his family lived in Ethiopia for 3 years from 1965 to 1968. During this time Iword formed his first band, The Addis Ababa Safaris, and developed his interest in world music, theatre, and the arts while attending Good Shepherd Mission School in Addis. And, on a mystic day, in early 1966 that is where as an 11 year old youth, Iword was blessed in the presence of the King of Kings. Albert, his dad, was the supervising construction engineer, working with the Ethiopian people building the JFK library at Haile Selassie I University in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. And what's more, his father worked for His Imperial Majesty. This music is a portion of the work and collaborations of Edward Sprinkle the mon called Iword, who, during his childhood was blessed to live in the royal nation of Ethiopia.
