Participating guest musicians include the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra and a 14-year-old girl (Lykke Sofie Myrås, the sister of Janove's wife). According to an interview with VG Nett following the release of their first single, they explained that the first two albums of the trilogy had already been recorded, as the first album only took a fortnight. I, as well as the release of the first single in August, and the second single in early January 2011 (though this was changed to October 2010). On 7 June 2010 their official site confirmed the completion of Vol. The recording of additional instruments such as strings and orchestra was scheduled for a later date. On 11 March Ottesen revealed that 12 songs had been recorded in 12 days, completing the first album in the trilogy. Jørgen Træen, Yngve Sætre, and Ottesen acted as producers.

During an interview with NRK, it was stated that each album would have 10 songs, breaking the standard they had set of 12 per album.
The albums' title and format, owing to Ottesen's extensive songwriting sessions in 2009, was revealed on 10 February 2010, the day of the first show of the Studio Tour. Concert attendees were given a mail-in letter for a limited edition of the first album in the series. Later, the band announced the Studio Tour, a four-concert tour of Norway whose proceeds would finance the new album.

Retreating to the studio in the basement of his home with an oil barrel, Ottesen recorded a "bare-bones" demo of songs intended for the trilogy. Using this extensive backlog of material as a basis, Ottesen conceptualized a trilogy of albums based around the same theme. In 2007, Kaizers Orchestra's co-founder and primary songwriter Janove Ottesen hit a major creative boon, and composed two to three songs every day for ten days.
