XMTR Festival: Radio Limbo Live From St Leonards-on-Sea

Pete Hazell / Limbo Tapes (UK, 2025)

47 mins

Radio Limbo returns to St Leonards for another guided audio-trip — an unusual quest through original music, collage, soundscapes, and disembodied voices. The show celebrates radio as a shape-shifting portal to other worlds, a wilderness of its own, and its unique qualities of companionship. Join Pete for this curation and performance of surreal scenes and sonic experiments, using local intrigue and lost histories as the jumping-off point.

Pete Hazell is a music and audio artist based in Bristol. His various projects fall under the ‘Limbo’ umbrella, known for their signature blend of curious music, sound design, storytelling, and collage. His cassette label Limbo Tapes focuses on releasing music, monthly residency on Bristol’s Noods Radio is both a mix of new , and in 2024, Pete self-produced and released the audio series Limbo Calling as a podcast, expanding the Limbo universe through character, voice work, and surreal audio fiction.
His latest focus is performance — bringing Limbo sonics to a live audience.

The Box

Oliver Morris (UK 2025)

4 min

A thought and sound experiment. Initially a blueprint for a shelved audio drama, the piece explores how the sound field could be used to add and take away colour from a scene. The piece consists of a short rambling voice note to the writer by the sound designer, complete with diagetic music and sound, that has then been filtered to add to the emotion of the scene. This is the box.

Produced by Oliver Morris

An Asshole Walks Into a Group Meditation

Gabriel Berezin (US 2025)

24 min

Ever been to a group meditation? How did you feel - third eye open with a blissful permagrin? Or did you feel awkward and self conscious?

Tune into the psychedelic talk show that measures gullibility and skepticism using a powerful new scale. This trust spectrum is defined by Larry David, Woody Harrelson, Betty White, Bill Murray and cats (not the musical).

Gabriel Berezin and his co-host (his Inner Voice) discuss the neurological and psychological mental phenomena activated during a Brooklyn, NY meditation retreat.

For example, find out what a Burger King Whopper has to do with our experience of time, and why getting picked last on the dodgeball court explains our cultural divide.

This is Part 1 of a 3-part series.

Written, produced and voiced by Gabriel Berezin
Original music by Santiago Arias-Rozo.
