As It Is

This radio edit was broadcast once on 1 May 2020 on London's art radio station Resonance 104.4fm, as part of a day of special broadcasts to celebrate the station's 18th birthday. A radio edit from A Puppet Show by Steven Hull features Tony White performing short story ‘Apocryphal Fragment from the Lives of the Conquistadors', and Gibby Haynes track ‘Maigizo ya Bandia’, both from A Puppet Show by Steven Hull, for Glow: Santa Monica 2013. Steven Hull is an artist based in LA whose work often includes huge collaborative projects. The story was commissioned by Hull to be performed as a large scale psychedelic puppet show on Santa Monica Beach for the Glow Festival, with accompanying music commissioned from the legendary Gibby Haynes, and from Petra Haden, Tanya Haden and Anna Huff. The story was first issued as a separate track with sound accompaniment by Steven Hull, on a vinyl LP of the project released on Hull's own Nothing Moments label. But Christopher Schnieders in the LP liner notes writes that Haynes's music ‘synchronizes remarkably with Tony White’s story.’ Gibby Haynes himself says that he ‘intentionally did not read the story then was shocked to find out how much the writing inspired the sounds.’  White notes, 'Gibby Haynes and I never spoke or corresponded in advance or compared notes in any way, and we didn’t share anything with Steven, there wasn’t time. Yet when our files crossed over, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing: somehow the words and music seemed to illustrate each other.’ This radio edit played White's vocal and Haynes's music simultaneously.

Usual stuff, this audio file was recorded from a cassette to the computer.  I used Izotope RX and Adobe Audition to edit the audio passing it through a Master rack, enjoy!!!
