'This kind of magic telepathy': in conversation with Jane Gardner and Hazel Morrison

**Hello HippCasters, we're back in the audiosphere this month with a double whammy of musical goodness!** In today's show we hear from Jane Gardner and Hazel Morrison, a familiar and much beloved HippFest duo, following their recent visit to Tromsø Silent Film Days and ahead of their performance as part of our Taste of Silents season accompanying Murnau's *Faust* (1926). Conversation varies merrily from the days of silent film on British TV, to some of the stranger instruments (/body parts?) used in past scores, and of course a wee musical preview of what to expect in October. As always, a full English transcript, and more information about Jane and Hazel, can be found here.
