To Miss the Ending
Award Winning Immersive Art
The physical world is dying. Machines have made human effort obsolete, and the only future is a virtual environment that approximates their old reality. The problem? None of the uploaded souls can agree on what reality was. While musing about their last days on Earth, they argue about whether a river is actually a road, whether an apartment’s stairs should lead to anything, and whether a tree belongs in the middle of a living room.
“A compelling meditation on the modern climate”

In 2020 we worked with digital art studio idontloveyouanymore to direct the music and sound for the beautiful and unsettling VR film To Miss The Ending.
To Miss The Ending premiered at BFI London Film Festival 2020, where it won their inaugural Best XR/Immersive Art Award and has since been presented at DOK Leipzig 2020, Sundance Film Festival 2021 and International Film Festival Rotterdam 2021, with more to come.
“To Miss the Ending is a melancholy, unsettling VR experience. Animated in jittering neon voxels that reflect the stories being told in voiceover, it turns a familiar dystopian science fiction conceit into a series of personal and bittersweet reflections on living to see the end of the world”

“To create the score Anna, David and myself discussed the concept in depth. We wanted to create something beautiful and engaging, that reflected the concept of film and the deterioration of stored memories. When the score was composed I removed notes at random until the piece became unrecognisable, disorientating and oblique.”
