Madeline Johnston played guitar, sang, and wrote melodies on "Untrue in Headphones."

Samuel Regan helped record and played sections of vibraphone on "Untrue in Headphones."

Daniel Schmidt helped build the glockenspiel used on "Mystery Pt. 2," "Telepresence," and "Gabapentin," and built the saron used on "Three Faces (Cyanoacrylate)."

Asher Mackenzie lent his bass which was used on "Mystery Pt. 2," "Wane into It," and "Ten Year Hangover / Deconstructed Mystery."

Lula Asplund sang and wrote melodies on "Wane into It" and "Three Faces (Cyanoacrylate)," and lent their steel-string acoustic guitar for the bridge section of "Mystery Pt. 2." Their voice was sampled for the granular synth section of "Blue Light Glow." They also offered invaluable input on various aspects of the album.

Adam Troy wrote and played bowed cymbals and drum parts on "Wane into It."

Taylor Malsey played violin and wrote melodies on "Wane into It" and "Three Faces (Cyanoacrylate)," and played the drums that were then warped and recomposed on "Three Faces (Cyanoacrylate)."

A field recorded conversation with Hadley Bates, Andy Bates, Betty Bates and Kathy Kroeger was used on "Telepresence."

The title of "Telepresence" was taken from a project completed with Christopher Davidson while working as his teaching assistant—it was inspired by Maryanne Amacher.

Drum sounds from Nat Harvey's "Long Body" were sampled, warped, and recomposed on "Gabapentin" and "Blue Light Glow."

Alex Kent helped conceptualize the noise parade, wrote melodies, sang, and played harmonium, singing saw, glockenspiel, and whistle on "Blue Light Glow."

Drum samples created by Stan Sumney were used on "Blue Light Glow."

A majority of the music during the second half of "Ten Year Hangover / Deconstructed Mystery" was recorded during a performance of "Losing Mystery" at the Center for Contemporary Music in December 2019.

Betty Bates recounts her memory on "Ten Year Hangover / Deconstructed Mystery."

Works and/or words from Maryanne Amacher, William Emanuel Bevan, Phil Elverum, Gilles Deleuze, Parker Johnson, Victoria Keddie, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Daniel Lopatin, Max Neuhaus, Lane Shi Otayonii, and Marcel Proust had influence on or are briefly referenced in lyrics throughout the album.

The live drum kit sounds on "Three Faces (Cyanoacrylate)," Farfisa on "Wane into It," and Mellotron on "Blue Light Glow" were recorded at the Unknown in Anacortes, WA in March 2017 (drums), and August 2021 (keyboards) by Nicholas Wilbur.

Mastered by Nicholas Wilbur at the Unknown in January 2022.
