This album is notable as a progression from earlier Elend work in that it does not rely on synthesizers and sequencing to achieve an orchestral sound — though there are still computerized effects, the majority of the music is played on acoustic instruments by chamber musicians.

gollark: Why do you have a table of key codes?
gollark: I do program a lot of the stuff I use myself, but I can write much more useful code if I *can* use, well, crypto libraries and stuff.
gollark: For example: cryptography and maths; lots of graphics stuff; useful stuff I don't want to copy paste into every program; encoding/decoding sometimes.
gollark: Sometimes I don't want to write my own code to handle some complex task.
gollark: There are 85 million "app stores" but none of them have everything or even most things.
