Background
The album was intended as an appreciation of "post-minimalist modern classical" music, with Sasha citing Max Richter, Nils Frahm, Brian Eno, and Steve Reich as influences for the composition of the album. In a press release with Billboard on the topic of the album's composition prior to its release, Sasha stated:Scene Delete was originally intended to be a compilation album, like the majority of Late Night Tales releases. Sasha has noted his inspiration from Jon Hopkins' Late Night Tales album, which contained some of Hopkins' original works as well as other people's music. After sending Late Night Tales original works for Scene Delete, Sasha had prepared to license other people's music for the album before the record label proposed that the album be entirely original.
