Two months after the court suite was settled, a Bungie fan named Owen Spence (formerly known as u/OS_Epsilon at Destiny's Reddit page) began a project to reconstruct ''Music of the Spheres'' from publicly available material. After several months, Spence released a 40 minute cut to Reddit in April 2016, which impressed O'Donnell. Spence kept working on it for another year with the help of Spanish speaking fan Tlohtzin Espinosa. Spence and Espinosa's work was released in April 2017, called the "[https://soundcloud.com/tlohtzin123/sets/music-of-the-spheres-definitive-edition-martin-odonnell-michael-salvatori-and-paul-mccartney Definitive Edition]".<ref>https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-05-the-teen-who-spent-over-a-year-piecing-together-destinys-unreleased-music</ref> O'Donnell stated that while it was not quite "definitive", it was still close to the real work.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/619zav/music_of_the_spheres_definitive_edition/dfdlnh2/</ref> After the release of the Definitive Edition, Spence found a way to get a cleaner version of a piece of audio Espinosa had failed to acquire. Spence spent a few days making the edit and YouTube channel Planet Destiny posted the final mock up release.

After the final release by Spence, O'Donnell went to Twitter and encouraged anyone who had a copy of ''Music of the Spheres'' to share it. <ref>https://twitter.com/MartyTheElder/status/936349365496459264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fkotaku.com%2Fajax%2Finset%2Fiframe%3Fid%3Dtwitter-936349365496459264%26autosize%3D1</ref> A few days before Christmas 2017, Espinosa was contacted by someone who owned a real copy of ''Music of the Spheres'', and he worked with Spence to release it on December 25, 2017. <ref>https://kotaku.com/four-years-later-destinys-music-of-the-spheres-has-lea-1821572335</ref> Many fans feared the legal ramifications this would lead to, but for four months, the leak remained online. In April 2018, Spence was contacted by Bungie and sent a Cease and Desist letter, which led to a fan outcry for the music. Bungie's community manager Cozmo23 responded to the backlash on Reddit by saying they were doing it so Bungie could officially release ''Music of the Spheres''. <ref>https://www.pcgamer.com/the-unreleased-destiny-album-music-of-the-spheres-has-leaked/</ref>
