Ninety-nine percent of the sounds on the album derive from a recording session with a nine-foot concert grand piano. "endlessnessnessness" treats the piano as a composite resonating body, exciting all areas of the piano, teasing out sound worlds contained within this historic instrument. "sublime subliminal sublimate" uses a thirty-seven chord palindromic sequence, motivically performed, then digitally altered.

“It soared, a bird, it held its flight, a swift pure cry, soar silver orb it leaped serene, speeding, sustained, to come, don't spin it out too long long breath he breath long life, soaring high, high resplendent, aflame, crowned, high in the effulgence symbolistic, high, of the ethereal bosom, high, of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the all, the endlessnessnessness...”
- James Joyce, Ulysses
