O'Donnell began work on the album in early 2011, with some elements of the album having been worked on in 2009. O'Donnell created short drafts for each of the eight movements alone and later recruited his long-time collaborator, Michael Salvatori, to flesh them out. Lev Chapelsky, a manager at a video game talent agency, began speaking with O'Donnell about potential collaborators, and they decided on Paul McCartney. McCartney had previously been at an E3 press conference for "The Beatles: Rock Band" and appeared immediately after Bungie's showing of "Halo 3: ODST" based on this appearance, Chapelsky believed that McCartney might be interested in gaining a new audience through video games. Chapelsky reached out to McCartney and booked a meeting in Los Angeles between O'Donnell and McCartney. The meeting went well, and McCartney quickly became interested in working on Destiny.

McCartney contributed melodies to the game's soundtrack, such as a melody for Horn that appears in the tracks The Path, The Prison, and The Hope. This melody can also be heard in the "Destiny Original Soundtrack" in tracks such as Tranquility and The Fallen, and at the beginning of the track The Traveler. McCartney also contributed voice loops to the tracks The Path and The Prison. McCartney directly worked on five of the tracks from Music of the Spheres and his work is reused throughout the in-game soundtrack. McCartney's most well-known contribution is Hope For the Future, a song that appears at the end of Music of the Spheres. McCartney released the song as a standalone single, separate from Music of the Spheres, on December 8, 2014. The standalone song received mixed reviews.

O'Donnell took inspiration from the ancient concept "Musica Universalis", or the idea that the seven celestial spheres moved in relation to music. O'Donnell also used "nocturnal geomantic figures" as the namesake for the individual tracks. Each track in Music of the Spheres is based on a planet as laid out by ancient astrology. O'Donnell used C.S. Lewis' book on the subject, The Discarded Image as a basis and general inspiration for his interpretation of the ideas. O'Donnell also drew inspiration from Holst's The Planets namely for the track The Ecstacy. The track order is based on the "classical" order of the planets, as laid out by ancient philosophers. This order of the planets is Earth's Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The eighth track of the album, The Hope, is based on The Traveler and Earth. Earth's Moon and the Sun are considered planets in this model, as the term "planet" meant, at the time, "wandering star."

Music of the Spheres was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in November 2012, with the final session concluding on November 24, 2012. Music of the Spheres featured a large ensemble, with a 106-piece orchestra, choir, and boys choir. Bungie sought out the best talent they could find for the recording, featuring a celebrity conductor and orchestrator.

Music of the Spheres completed production on December 10, 2012. O'Donnell immediately began searching for a means to publish the album, and Bungie produced 100 promotional CDs of Music of the Spheres. At E3 2013, publisher Activision reworked O'Donnell's audio for a trailer without O'Donnell's permission, replacing his music and hiring a voice actor unrelated to Bungie or Destiny. O'Donnell expressed his frustrations on Twitter, stating the music was not his own. This started internal arguments with O'Donnell and Bungie's management. O'Donnell believed that Activison was damaging Bungie's work culture. Bungie believed that O'Donnell was being disruptive and that he was elevating his interest in publishing his music over the best interest of the company. O'Donnell was fired from Bungie on April 11, 2014. A legal battle between O'Donnell and Bungie's former CEO Harold Ryan began shortly after, which was resolved on September 4th, 2015 in favor of O'Donnell. 

Music of the Spheres remained unpublished for several years after, being made available on Bungie's own webstore on June 1, 2018, as part of The Music of Destiny, Volume 1 vinyl soundtrack collection."
