Songs with lyrics written by nonspeaking autistic writers are performed by poet and singer-songwriter Brian Laidlaw. Written during recent songwriting camps and events, these original words are set to music through collaboration between Laidlaw and the writers. Several songs from the album Silently Loud, which Laidlaw performed at the Poetry Center in 2023, are also included in this performance.
