Tracks
[untitled]
- The untitled hidden track at the beginning of the album is only present on some CD releases of the album, and is only accessible by navigating to the previous song while playing "Rpeg".
Rpeg
Ccec
- The title is likely a play on "seasick."
Squeller
Left Blank
- The second half of "Left Blank" uses the Kyma Capybara for the "fft sounding stuff". That same patch using the Kyma went on to be reused on Sal Batardes (Autechre Purple Mix). [1][2]
Outpt
Dropp
- The main synth for "Dropp" uses a Nord sequenced in Logic.[3]
Liccflii
- "Liccflii" was the first track Sean did in Max.[4]
Maphive 6.1
- The track "Maphive 6.1" was created entirely on a Roland PMA-5, a small, portable music work station with a built in sequencer. The title "Maphive" likely plays on the piece of equipment, shuffling "PMA-5" to "MAP-5".
Zeiss Contarex
- The tracks shares its name with the Contarex camera made by Zeiss Ikon. [5]
- The sample near the end of the track was something from a shortwave radio broadcast, although Sean clarifies he doesn't know what the sample itself was. [6]
Netlon Sentinel
- The track shares its name with the garden fence mesh product from Netlon of the same name.

Trivia
- The cover of EP7 was made using a circuit board designer. [7]
- On the old EP7 minisite, a fractal generator coded by Dorlan Fraser Moore of Kleber Digital[8] was at one point available for fans to make similar artwork.
- In an offhand comment Sean mentioned that part of the reason EP7 is an EP despite its length was that so they could "do things that weren't album-like." [9]
