Caine recorded the project between October 1999 and January 2000 in ten studios spread across New York, Cologne, Briosco and Ludwigsburg.

He treated Bach’s dance forms as permission to use the dances of his own time, bringing salsa, tango and New Orleans stomps into a 72-track collage of ensembles and technologies.
