The feature includes previously unreleased material from The Chills (MPEG), The Clean, Sneaky Feelings and The Verlaines (MP3s). There are also rare MP3s from Alastair Galbraith, Corpus Hermeticum and Metonymic releases.

In addition there's a slideshow by twice Visa Gold finalist, Kim Pieters, of landscape photographs - these inform some of the site-specific poems, two visual 'scores' by Cilla McQueen and the full score of Anthony Ritchie's setting of Cilla McQueen's 'Timepiece'.

The trustees of the estates of Reiko Kunimatsu, Iain Lonie and Bill Sewell released photographs and texts for the feature. The Andrew Ellis Archive made musical material available. Photographers from London to Seattle released copyright photographs at no charge, and the prominent critic Piero Scaruffi (Harvard/Stanford) allowed quotation from and linkage to his reviews of New Zealand music.
