β | The Scottish Album of the Year Award, or [http://www.sayaward.com/ SAY Award] is a yearly prize given to an album produced by Scottish musicians between January and December of the previous year.<ref>http://www.sayaward.com/about/</ref> In 2014, [[Boards of Canada]] were nominated for their 2013 release [[Tomorrow's Harvest]]. <ref>http://www.sayaward.com/boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest/</ref> The album made it to the shortlist, thus winning the band a Β£1,000 prize and an invitation to take part in the awards ceremony where the overall winner would be named.

β | Although [[Boards of Canada|Mike and Marcus]] were not available to attend the ceremony, they prepared an exclusive thank you video and track for the audience members in attendance. The one minute video, displayed in a hexagon, comprised fast moving images accompanied with a snippet of new arpeggio-styled music.

β | Someone in the audience managed to capture this moment and uploaded it to YouTube where it got removed hours later. It has since been mirrored [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjXmTSOujrE on YouTube] by [https://www.youtube.com/user/xoio/videos PhasedSpaces] and [http://we.tl/SxU6roLUED for download] by [http://www.twoism.org/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2204 thepastinsidepresent] from the [[Twoism (forum)|Twoism forum]].

β | The message was cut from the internet live stream of the event and the video displayed a "Please Stand By" message. You can see an excerpt of the live show below in the [[The SAY Award#Video|Video]] section or the full version of the stream at [http://new.livestream.com/accounts/6022064/events/3114082 Livestream] - the [[BoC]] part starts at approximately 1h41min.

β | The track contains some noise which is not decipherable on the smartphone recording that was taken. It then moves to an arpeggio very much in the style of [[Tomorrow's Harvest]] with a palindromic structure. It is very similar to the arpeggio in [[Gemini]] in reverse, but not identical (it is in a Dorian mode rather than a minor key.)

β | == Video ==
| |
β | * The first video is a meta video recording of the internet live stream which contains (deliberate?) technical issues.
| |
β | * The second video shows what the audience in fact witnessed at the event itself while the audio/video had a cutout in the live stream.
