Time Capsule tells of a monk from Wells Cathedral who, before being killed 200 years ago, hid a mysterious document within the walls of the cathedral.

Time Capsule was premiered on Wednesday 7 August 2013, during the closing concert at Bass-Fest 2013 (Silk Mill, Frome, Somerset), by Dan Styffe, David Heyes, Claus Freudenstein, Eloise Riddell, Josie Jobbins, Teppo Hauta-aho, Simon Garcia and Ben Groenevelt.
