This piece is comprised of field recordings, sound effects, meditation videos, and room tones, as well as recordings from the Voyager Golden Record and the films Into Great Silence and 24 Hour Party People. Several people offered performances of silence. This silent choir is comprised of Sheldon Brandt, Risa Horowitz, Sandee Moore, several pigeons, and a sparrow.

The cover image is a still from the film 24 Hour Party People (directed by Michael Winterbottom) in which the character of Tony Wilson (played by Steve Coogan) interrupts Martin Hannett (played by Andy Serkis) on a hill recording silence.
