The piece combines stage lighting, a smoke machine, and an 8-hour and 46-minute audio sequence, playing every chord from David Bowie's Little Black Songbook as simple four-note arpeggios. It progresses chronologically through each of Bowie's songs, from the first chord of "Absolute Beginners" to the last in "Ziggy Stardust."
