In the fall 2020, Page and Trey performed some songs outside on the deck of The Barn overlooking Vermont’s Green Mountains (a few of whiich were streamed during "The Beacon Jams" series). The pair reconvened in December to shoot more videos and as snow fell at The Barn, the mission evolved into the December album sessions during which Trey and Page rearranged a group of Phish song for piano and guitar, using alternate vocal harmonies and instrumentation to cover all four band members’ parts.
