In The Dark Bristol - New Producers
A collage piece playing with the contrast between the idea of Godly creation and the often overbearing presence of commercial materialism.
As well as highlighting the absurdity of radio advertising and outdated children’s records, the purpose is simply to promote the radio show's identity and its sense of humour. It concludes with an example of the 7th day being intended for rest, with a reimagined old time radio drama about listening to a broken radio on a Sunday, which in itself contains subversive messages and frustration.
Pete Hazell is a music and radio producer from Bristol, founder of the cassette label Limbo Tapes and host of Radio Limbo.

In The Dark Bristol: Hidden In The Hills

The physical distance between Cornish houses can stretch out for many miles, and public transport between them is typically infrequent and overpriced. In many parts of Cornwall, internet access is still slow, and in some places, un-obtainable. Whilst this can be a nuisance for many adults, it can be incredibly detrimental to the lives of young people. Without the proximity of support and services, the future of this country is quickly becoming hidden in the hills.
Young people selected from different communities across Cornwall were interviewed about their experiences of isolation. These interviews have been brought together to form one shared story. Recordings from the Cornish countryside were also embedded alongside other sounds to try and create a more immersive experience.
Created by British composer and sound designer Chris Baker, this audio work is a combination of sound and speaking. ‘Hidden in the Hills’ is a sonic painting that aims to be both creative and inventive, whilst also relevant to modern Britain.
