The sound piece was made with the sound of Gyrid´s voice reading her own text Losing Control, recordings of her voice from the Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo, and recordings of the noise and other sounds from her father's old SONY M-450 Microcassette Recorder. The piece was a part of her master's degree project at NTNU in 2010 and has also been released on CD and online platforms as a part of the project Beyond Boundaries from 2014.
