This work is based on the final speeches of the first presidential addresses televised by Kennedy and Nixon. Morse code, being the only means of conveying a direct message in instrumental music without lyrics, served as the basis for the rhythms and themes that each performer plays. While Morse code directly encapsulates the beautiful speeches of the two presidential candidates and their efforts to communicate with the public, the rapid tempo at which they play in this piece is designed to prevent the audience from understanding this direct message.

Furthermore, the two performers are designed not to listen to each other beyond a certain point, as each plays at the fastest tempo they can manage. This criticizes the absence of communication between the two candidates in their speeches, filled with the usual political rhetoric, and the lack of communication between the candidates and the public.
