In a press release from his record label, Walker describes the music in the following way: "Apart from a slow movement given over to solitude, the music is full of edgy and staccato shapes or cuts, reflecting how we cut up the world around us as a consequence of the shape of our bodies. How much of a body does an intelligence need to be potentially socialised in an age of ever-developing AI ? This is but one of many questions that informed the approach to the project."

The album was issued in just 2500 copies and will, according to the label, never be re-pressed.
