For her live performances she uses mostly looped vocals, flutes, and percussion, a Casio keyboard, guitar, and mandolin, in an attempt to transport her audience into the ethereal realms.

This album was recorded and mixed in Finland and Pennsylvania. Tara has recently been collaborating with several other musicians.
