    • Horizon is a generative piece made using the BBC BASIC programming language for the BBC Micro series of microcomputers. It was originally created by Sean in 2004 for the rand()% generative radio station by the BBC.[17]
    • It was supposed to be reused for the Composing with Process radio series from Radio Web MACBA in 2010, but was mistakenly credited to Sean instead of Gescom.[18][19][20] It was subsequently replaced with a piece by Ryoji Ikeda due to Warp Record's exclusivity policies.[21]
    • The full BBC BASIC code used to create the track is featured on the artwork of its ID3 metadata – an emulator screenshot of the program after being loaded. It only uses 6 lines.
