The piece was recorded at the visitor viewpoint overlooking Kilt Rock on the Isle of Skye in Scotland in April 2009. The safety railings at the edge of the cliff were made up of circular sections of hollowed out metal which made a kind of wailing whistling sound modulated by the strength of the wind.
Placed binaural headphones inside the metal ralings and also wore them, editing and mixing the two together. The clanking noises at the beginning and end are the sounds of the headphones hitting the railings while trying to position them.
