The album is a 73-minute-long vocal drone piece interwoven with Mellotron^[3] and is referred to by Cope as “a simultaneously-synthesized parallel-harmonic Breathing Meditation.”^[4] It was recorded in one take, as Cope explained, "The preparation of the studio took six hours, but the performance was entirely live like a concert and without overdubs."^[5]
