Versions
Soft Trees Break The Fall
This is the original version. A consistent 8th note piano melody enters after an initial drone fade-in, soon accompanied by occasional bass notes and tuned percussion. A second set of themes for all instruments changes the course of the piece after the synthesizer whines become louder, and this section quietly then transitions back to the initial theme set, now with a high register piano melody on top. Synth whines again welcome in the second theme set, which repeats as it quietly fades into the synth whines and clinking tuned percussion, which fade into silence and end the track. The version from the awards sampler website is exactly the same musically, though it ends sooner because it has no excess silence on the end.
