Will I Ever Figure It Out? by anguaji

In the party season, I was asked to put together a little ambient dubstep snippet for the Live Lab's Christmas Adventures on the 21st Dec. The evening was a mix of comedy, games and a couple of short plays, one of which, The Terminal Velocity Of Snowflakes (by the lovely Nina Berry https://twitter.com/ninajayneberry) needed a few music spots.

Tweaked versions of Sunday Mornings and Hey, Piñata featured during the runtime, but an original snippet was needed for an emotional beat. "Ambient emotional dubstep" was the order of the day, and this was what was produced! The timings worked out really well from my end, although an earlier version would have been tighter but riskier. The drop before the main beat comes in was to give the actors catch up time just in case. I've had a funny winter so far so in addition to what the script demanded, I felt very close to the emotions needed in this track.

Watching the piece performed was one of the highlights of my year - hearing this time perfectly and see the actors work with it was exhilarating, and I confess I mushed up when Hey, Piñata came on through the theatre sound system and Vinny threatened to tell FaceBook I'd gone soft, the swine.
