Recording and music

The album was recorded in concert at Cankerjev Dom, Ljubljana, as part of the Ljubljana Jazz Festival, on July 3, 2015.[1] The two tracks, improvised, were credited to the two musicians.[1] On the first track, "The Eyes Moving. Slowly.", Gustafsson employs slap-tonguing and vocalizations.[2] "The Ears Facing The Fantasies. Again.", the second track, builds as "Taborn's percussive left hand churns the improvisation as he brings the piece to a boil, pressing Gustafsson to push his accelerator", then has a quieter section.[2]

Ljubljana was released by Clean Feed Records in 2017.[1] They released it as an LP and as a digital download.[1]
