February Hunger​-​Snow Moon

from The Full Moon Series by Shane Morris

/

about

Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February’s full Moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult.

For February Hunger-Snow Moon, I tried to portray in sound, not only a reflection of a cold and harsh winter environment, but also the fear and apprehension that accompanies desperate situations such as the end of the winter food supply for the tribe in the deepest part of the snowy winter.

For this track, I had a near perfect composing environment. Snowed in at my home in the forest for 10 days with below freezing temperatures, I got a refreshing glimpse at the solitude, the rationing, and the cautiousness that comes with an environment that can be less than hospitable.
