The music to the ballet was composed by Thomas Bangalter, formerly of Daft Punk.

Unlike the work of the duo and of Bangalter in earlier previous solo efforts, the album is not electronic and is entirely orchestral, focusing on Baroque music and American minimalism. Preljocaj initially suggested the idea of Bangalter using electronic elements with symphonic music, similar to Bangalter's previous work as part of Daft Punk for the film Tron: Legacy. However, Bangalter expressed the desire to write a fully orchestral score in order to have a more unique experience. Bangalter studied and read classic treatises on orchestration and abandoned writing with the keyboard, how he normally wrote compositions with Daft Punk, to avoid limitations in composing.

The 90-minute composition was released as an album of the same name in April 2023 on vinyl, CD, and streaming services. Bangalter was unsure whether he would release the project as an album when writing, but he decided to when he and Preljocaj were very satisfied with the result.It is the first solo project from either Bangalter or Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo following their split and the first full-length album involving either member in a decade. Bangalter gave interviews about the project and allowed himself to be photographed without a mask. The press release of the album included a drawing of Bangalter's unmasked face by Vulture Magazine illustrator Stéphane Manel. The album was preceded by three singles
