Both pieces on the album were performed live using the Mighty Serge modular analog synthesizer and were spontaneous, improvised compositions. The first track, "Lullaby for the Hearts of Space", was originally recorded for a Hearts of Space radio special at KPFA-FM in March, 1980. The second track, "After I Said Goodnight," took inspiration from Emilie Conrad-Da'Oud's work Continuum and was created live during one of her classes.

Unlike Braheny's other albums, Lullaby for the Hearts of Space was not released on compact disc until 2017, reportedly because Braheny was not fond of the results. Braheny asked Hearts of Space to not release additional copies after the existing copies had sold out and the request was granted. As a result, the album has been difficult to find. The recording was remastered by Braheny Fortune, and it was released on CD and digital formats on June 16, 2017.[2][3]
