remembering a cold winter moon

There was an unofficial race between tracks this week - part 4 of my deep-house-one-night-stand tracks, and the new contender, a replacement track for an upcoming ambient EP - and the ambient won. There is more deep house to come, just taking a brief pause.
First, some news: some of my space-ambient music, particularly from The Pulsar Suite and The Message, will be featured on Cabin Radio in Yellowknife, Yukon Territory, this wednesday at 8pm MST (10pm EST for me):
I am sure it will be recorded but I don't yet know where it'll be available to listen - I had a couple people ask - so I will let you know when I do.
Following that, on Friday March 6th, I'll be releasing my follow-up EP to Autumn on Ganymede, "Snow for Europa", which brings us to this week's track.
I have been working on this little EP since January and as I was mastering things together, I realized one track just wasn't pulling its weight, and also had some difficult-to-repair problems, so that went to the scrap pile and I decided to write a new track this week to replace it.
"remembering a cold winter moon" is based on a riff I have been playing around with going back almost two years, for a while it was gonna be called "moonrise on the orbital" and be part of an entirely different album, but things change, and I needed to get this little melody out of my head and into something permanent.
This is the first guitar track of the year for me, and I did a long take, chopped it up into little tape loops and pieced it back together. Various spacey ambient transformations fill out the wall of sound.
The EP itself will be five tracks total, around a half hour play time, and I am thinking of including an album-only full mix of the songs together maybe with a few narrative elements ... we shall see how time goes. Three tracks were born here on Weekly Beats, the fourth this week, and there's one more track no one's heard that will serve as title song. It should be a nice little journey.
And with that, I have dogs to feed.
