In the shew-stone, photographs of discontinuous forms are multiplied with photographs of continuous textures creating hybrid images that are animated by sound. Hybrid sounds are created by an analogous process of multiplying or convolving instrumental sounds with animal/environmental field recordings.

The measuring organ measures the amount of disturbance the hybrid sounds of the shew-stone make on a periodic waveform which it translates into midi notes. The stops or samples used by the measuring organ to sound the midi notes are the separated-out instrumental sounds of the hybrids from the shew-stone.
