The piece features a self-designed instrument, the electromagnetic monochords. It was built by Rodrigo MartÃnez and Mika Feinberg, who engineered and programmed the control box of the instrument
The control box of the instrument sends pulse waves at audio rate to electromagnets placed beneath tensed strings, thus exciting multiples of the string's fundamental frequency.
