The Limbotopia Workshop presents... The Widow

Pete Hazell (UK 2026)

3mins

This was made as a promotional micro-drama for the album "Walk With The Militia" by Damos Room (Limbo Tapes 2026).

Inspired by the artist's world-building lore about a Horse Militia, and the title of the last track "Widows" I made this for their show on Radio Al Hara in celebration of the release.

It features the cloned voices of David McCallum, Georgia Ellis, William Conrad and Dick Bentley. In the debate about voice cloning technologies, I offer this in memory and admiration of those actors no longer with us, and the era of audio that they starred in.

Five and Twenty to Eleven

Pete Hazell (UK 2026)

3 min

Inspired by a serendipitous late night listen, this was made for a recent In The Dark event in Bristol. The event was subtitled: The Sleepwalker's Guide To The City, featuring audio work by Dinah Mullen and Michelle MacMahon.

Late one night on the run up to the event, Pete stumbled across a BBC production of "Rope"By Patrick Hamilton, in which Rupert Cadell (played by Alan Rickman) delivers a melancholy monologue that focuses on the city at night.

It was just the kind of thing he was looking for and this resulting piece opened the second half of the event, held at The Wardrobe Theatre.

Produced by Pete Hazell.
