"Behind the Eyes" was composed for and recorded by two members of Pittsburgh's contemporary quintet, Kamratōn – Anna Elder (soprano soloist) and Sarah Steranka (flute soloist). The text is adapted from a poem of the same name by Matthew Galbraith, the composer's husband. It was composed for future live performances with solo soprano and/or solo flute, along with a "fixed media" sound track created by the composer, which includes a female trio (sung by Ms. Elder) and a virtual ensemble of ambient and percussive sounds created using the Ableton Live application.

The work was recorded and engineered by Ryan McMasters, and released on YouTube in early April 2021 with a video created by Mr. Galbraith. For live performances, the mixed media soundtrack is available senza both soloists, or senza one or the other of the soloists.
