Right now for most of the northern hemisphere it's autumn, a time of change from the heat of summer to the bitter cold of winter, chilly autumn days that have brilliant colored leaves and blustery winds. Well, up in the arctic, winter comes a bit early. What we think of as fall is just the beginning of winter up north. This original song aims to capture the feel of the blustery, frigid start to winter that this time of year is up there. The lakes and rivers are all frozen over, the Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean are starting to freeze over, and by December will be entirely frozen over. Fall is much different in a place where it is cold most of the year and the ground is already covered in snow with the cold winds blowing off the bay and ocean enhancing snowfall, causing even more to fall. It's like lake effect snow in the northeastern US but with the bay. This new original composition of mine aims to capture the feel of autumn in a place where the seasons are "almost winter, winter, still winter, and I guess it's not winter anymore". It's an original song meant to capture a unique and often forgotten place and setting. Generally we only think of polar regions in winter only but they have such a unique climate and ecosystem and I hope I am able to effectively capture what can be best describes as autumn where autumn doesn't exist, where spring is just the breaking up of ice, where the short summer season is just the snow-free season, and where winter lasts more than half of the year. Inside the Arctic circle, except maybe Tromso and Harstad, it's the dead of winter right now, and even there winter is beginning or about to begin. Is it winter or fall where you live?
