once again waiting by the shore

By neon liminal on January 11, 2026 9:40 pm

A follow up to last week, third track of five for this little EP I'm planning. Subharmonicon via modular bringing the swells and feels, and a few more friends to fill out the melody. It's wandering and aimless, like walking the beach on a cold winter's day, alongside the memory of someone that used to be there with you.

This is definitely a bit of a return to certain tracks and stories on my first album, Autumn on Ganymede, so you might find some familiar memories here.

Thanks to everyone who listened and reached out last week - it's so wonderful to be back and I am overwhelmed by the warmth and community here. I hope you are warm and with loved ones this winter (... assuming it's winter where you are, if you're in the southern hemisphere, consider me jealous!)

Love it, it really has that swelling beach feel. And also great for me to chill out to with my after dinner coffee. Mixed with that big wonderous space. A sea of stars.

Feels so warm and gentle. Glimmers of light dancing over fields of ice.  The soft gentle vocal like release at the end feels so good.

good lord, buddy heart

this is beautiful heart i had to sit back for this much needed escape. the 4min mark transition so good! the piano the overall lightness throughout.  I'm all for this EP! Excellent work!

like coming out of hibernation

this is delightful

Just did some restorative bedtime yoga to this and it was so lovely. Love the piano in the end. Thank you!

😲 wow this is magical

Oh man... that textural drop out at 4:05 was wicked... like in every sense of the word!  I feel like I blinked from one reality to another... that I was somehow always a part of... and where I wanted to be... but just wasn't before.  Like waking up from a dream, you thought you had already woken up from.  Great piece. 

prettier and prettier as it evolves heart

oh yes. and when I saw the track length: OH YES.

so so so beautiful. those pianos are heavenly

Will definitely check out the album then! This is great relaxing music

I mean, god damn, like right back on Ganymede. This was just beautiful, and the restraint at the beginning is a lesson in ambient production.  Much like Tone Matrix said, that mid section into the rest of the track was fantastic.  The computer signal/glitch then also was perfectly placed.  Love this so much

Exquisite.

Subharmonicon squad represent! You're using it in a much subtler way than I typically do, though, haha.

For how droney the entire soundscape is, the snap-into-focus moment at 4:03 is really impactful and illustrative. Loved that change.

More wonderful ambience this week, a good journey. The melody that comes in is lovely!

this is beautiful, and the ocean sounds evocative

As I said last week, love these ambient tracks, like how you have the patience to unfold these tracks and keep the listener engaged waiting for the next wave of sound.  I love winter so no complaints here, I could stick with the cold for now, however could use a little less snow, everyday someone stuck in the crescent.

I was basking in the wash of sound, and then that little hiccup came in at 4:03. So incredibly subtle, yet it snapped my head right up. The change in energy was like a diverting stream. And then the water sound came in. No way did that feel like seven minutes, it carried me the whole way. Delightfully drifting.

Thank you! The 4 min transition is slightly contentious. I think for the EP we might finesse it a little bit but I want that same effect.

heart thank you! Yeah that drop is a little intense, some people haven't responded as well so it might need a bit of finessing, but the effect is there and got me where I wanted the song to be.

heart heart heart Thank you! You flatter me sir. I am very glad the sorta melodic-narrative thread persists because that album was obviously in my head while working on this (as much as the subharmonicon basically calls back to Autumn on Ganymede). Restraint is always my challenge - or rather, paring back, which is in part where that mid-song drop came from. Very happy you enjoyed it heart

Thank you heart heart heart. I absolutely love hearing how you use the Subharmonicon (SQUAD GO!), because in a lot of ways we do use it very differently - but also, I would say, differently from most of the examples out there. Very glad you liked that change at 4 mins, it was kind of a breakthrough moment for the song, as intense as it may be.

Thank you heart heart heart Seems like the change in energy was more successful than I thought so that is really encouraging.

Thanks again everyone, been a great year already!

Ambient music as its best. I am overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing.
