Jon Hassell describes Last night the moon as "a continuous piece, almost symphonic, with a cinematic construction" and drifting "clouds made out of many motifs." Core material is drawn from a session at Studios La Buissonne near Avignon in April 2008, with detail added in Los Angeles in November and December. Live recordings from Courtrais, Belgium and London, as well as a remix of a piece originally created for a Wim Wenders movie, are also integrated into the atmospheric, filmic flow, along with short samples snared throughout 2008.
