The album was produced by Jim Fox, William Winant, and Scott Fraser, and recorded, edited, and mastered by Scott Fraser in Los Angeles in August 2017.
Composer Peter Garland considers moon viewing a year-round activity, though it is traditionally associated with autumn in Japanese literature.
The cycle 'Moon Viewing Music' was composed in the winter and was specifically written for John Lane.
