Infinite Bach (or, if one prefers the stylization here, InfInIte Bach) is released as a solo cello album, recorded during the COVID-10 pandemic by Maya Beiser in her farmhouse in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. However, Beiser really had a creative partner, producer Dave Cook, who edited and mixed the sessions at a studio in upstate New York. Beiser says that she was inspired by Alvin Lucier's 1969 work I Am Sitting in a Room, that "I began to imagine making the Suites and this room speak to each other and inform the project of recording Bach's work." Thus, Cook's mixing emphasizes harmonics and drones that were, in a sense, a part of the music. Sometimes the music sounds as it usually does, but more resonant; in other passages, there are overtones or an octave drone. Beiser is best known for her collaborations with contemporary composers, among them Philip Glass, and to an extent, this is what one might expect from an artist who has long been concerned with the qualities of musical surfaces. In other ways, the concept is original and will appeal to those interested in modern techniques of presenting traditional material, as well as to contemporary remixers and samplers.
