Musicians Aïyb Dieng, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Bill Laswell and L. Shankar perform on "Arambam", a variation on the processional pattern on SamulNori's debut piece "Uttari kut". "Clouds, Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning" was played by SamulNori and included an extended sequence taken from their piece "Samdo nongak".{{cite book |first=Keith |last=Howard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AXd9i2YPlJUC&pg |title=Perspectives on Korean Music |publisher=Ashgate Publishing |date=2006 |page=65 |accessdate=October 17, 2014}}
