Sydnor and Saunier tracked the album on March 31, 2025 immediately following the Big Ears Music Festival at the Knoxville studio of engineer Jake Smith. Saunier created his parts using only Bach’s keyboard notation and later created the MIDI arrangements of Brandenburg Concerto no. 5 to complete the album. Musical introductions and transitions were supplied by Sydnor who recorded his parts live on analog synthesizers. Some arrangements were crafted in the studio and some minor overdubs were added later.
