Deep underground, in a secret location; a team of engineers and scientists are about to embark on a breakthrough experiment which could change our fundamental understanding of science and physics. But do these people actually understand what it is they are attempting and are they really correct in ignoring the dire warnings? They say monsters could be unleashed and that the timestream might even start collapsing backwards upon itself. But that could never happen…. Could It?

Production Background
‘Accelerator’ explores how different narrative structures can be used to uniquely explore new ways of telling an audiodrama story. The story works both using a forward and backwards narrative, and it’s interesting to see how the pacing and emotions of the listener changes depending on which version they listen to.
A version of this script was originally recorded in 2008, when I had just started making work under the name of ‘Cornucopia Radio’. That recording was the first piece of work I had created that could be easily classified as an #audiodrama (before that, I had mainly been recording monologues or short comedy-sketches) So to mark the 10 year anniversary, I have remastered/remixed the audio and recorded two new performers playing the characters of the ‘Reporter’ and ‘Professor’
Edit or Record Your Own Version!
We’re also releasing all the files we’ve used to create this audiodrama. You’ll be able to access all the sound effects and background sounds; plus the individual vocal tracks (for the Professor and the Reporter) and the script!
This could prove a useful resource if you want to practice your editing skills (or if want to re-edit everything into a better version). You might also want to use it to practice your own ‘voice acting’ abilities by recording yourself playing one of the characters (and then re-editing a version starring yourself!) or perhaps this could prove a useful resource for school or college if you need to record a short audiodrama for your class.
You already have our permission to do whatever you like with this audio!
