Inspiration for some ideas came from many places. For Track A1 and for the whole record, a debt is owed to the comic book by Amanda Vähämäki called "Äitienpäiva" (Hunda Hunda 2008) and also the song by Es called "Aavehuminaa (Katjallle)" (Fonal 2004)

These poems were referred to:
"The Uses of Not" by Lao Tzu (excerpt) from "Tao Te Ching" (Ursula K. Le Guin, trans.)
