About me:

Kelvin Hayes was born in Wales and raised in both New Zealand and the UK. This led to its fair share of complications notably in his education and cultural identity. None the less, having experienced both hemispheres, Hayes’ work offers a blend of European mystique and Australasian directness with influences drawn from music, literature, film and of memory and travel. Like his main parable Brian Eno he followed an education in the visual arts although his interests are cast too wide for him to be called any one thing (at the last count writer/photographer/critic). However, it's the former for which he is best known or unknown? In either case, rather than pursue music which already existed, integrity led him to form the small press equivocal in 1998 through which he released several books of poetry including: A Lyrical Oasis (1997), Notate (2000) and Circles & Bumps (2004) as well as travelogues Voyage of Nomad (2001), Returning/Repeating (2003) and Temp (2005) based on explorations of Europe (including a stint at legendary Paris bookstore/writers' retreat Shakespeare & Co.), Australasia and London respectively. He has contributed to many publications and websites, mainly All Music Guide, Record Collector and Lonely Planet Wales. In 2004 his compiled project RE:COVERED - a history of New Zealand music cover art went online and in 2007 a new poems retrospective Symposium of Empty Envelopes 1992-2007 was issued. His books have been acquired by libraries worldwide and aroused the interest of many luminaries such as rock legend Robert Fripp, Iva Davies (Icehouse), Cocteau Twins, Lloyd Cole and travel writer Peter Moore. Sadly some of the multi-disciplinary projects he intended with musicians, animators and film makers have never materialised. Still, Hayes remains a cultural nomad producing work which is both contemporary and which push boundaries. His books have been among the first to feature 'strong language' warnings, DVD style 'making of' featurettes and in some cases hidden content - unheard of in the book world. During a hugely busy 2008 he found time to exhibit photography, support blind charity RNIB, release the short stories book Beats Per Minute, interview a-ha, promote Aussie art rockers Boom Crash Opera and Where I'm Calling From - his collaboration with Portugal's O Atlas which aired on BBC 6 music radio. The following year Hayes has made progress with his photographic work and commenced an extensive e-book reissue campaign leading to the release of a new poems book Because of SE and ongoing project ‘198 collaborations’ starting 2010.

Version Francaise

Kelvin Hayes était né au Pays de Galles et a été augmenté en Nouvelle Zélande et au R-U. Ceci a mené à sa partie équitable des complications notamment dans son éducation et identité culturelle. Néanmoins, l'expérience de les deux hémisphères, le travail de Hayes offre un mélange de mystique européen et de droiture Australasian avec des influences tirées de la musique, littérature, film et de mémoire et de voyage. Comme sa parabole principale Brian Eno il a suivi une éducation dans les arts visuels bien que ses intérêts soient moulés trop au loin pour qu'il s'appelle la n'importe quelle une chose (à l'auteur/au photographe/au critique de dernier compte). Cependant, it's l'ancien pour ce qu'il est le plus connu ou inconnu? Dans l'un ou l'autre cas, plutôt que poursuivent la musique qui a déjà existé, intégrité l'a mené former la petite presse équivoque dans 1998 par comprenant lesquels il a libéré plusieurs livres de la poésie: 'A Lyrical Oasis' (1997), 'Notate' (2000) 'Circles & Bumps' (2004) aussi bien que le voyage de documentaires de 'Voyage of Nomad' (2001), 'Returning/Repeating'(2003) et Temp (2005) basé sur des explorations de l'Europe (travail assigné y compris à librairie légendaire de Paris 'Shakespeare & Co'), l'Autralasie et Londres respectivement. Il a contribué à beaucoup de publications et de sites Web, principalement tous 'All Music Guide', 'Record Collector' et Lonely Planet' (Pays de Galles). Dans 2004 son projet compilé RE:COVERED - une histoire d'art de couverture de musique de la Nouvelle Zélande est allée en ligne et en 2007 un colloque rétrospectif de nouvelles poésies 'Symposium of Empty Envelopes 1992-2007' a été publié. Ses livres ont été acquis dans le monde entier par des bibliothèques et ont réveillé l'intérêt de beaucoup de lumières telles que la légende de roche Robert Fripp, Iva Davies (Icehouse), Cocteau Twins, Lloyd Cole et auteur Peter Moore de voyage. Tristement certains des projets multidisciplinaires qu'il a prévus avec des musiciens, animateurs et les réalisateurs de film n'ont jamais matérialisé. Toujours, Hayes reste un nomade culturel produisant le travail qui est contemporain et qui pousse des frontières. Ses livres ont été parmi le premiers pour comporter language fort avertissements, modèle 'de DVD fabrication d' featurettes et contenu dans certains cas caché - inconnus dans le monde de livre. Pendant un 2008 énormement occupé qu'il a trouvé l'heure d'exhiber la photographie, soutient la charité sans visibilité RNIB, libère les battements de livre d'histoires Beats Per Minute, interviewe a-ha, favorise les culbuteurs australiens d'art grondent Boom Crash Opera et où I'm appelant - de sa collaboration avec la musicien Portugais O Atlas qui a aéré sur la radio de musique de BBC 6. L'année suivante Hayes a accompli le progrès avec son travail photographique et a débuté une campagne étendue de réédition d'e-livre menant au dégagement d'un nouveau livre de poésies Because of SE et des projet ‘198 collaborations’ au commençant 2010.

Version Italiano

Kelvin Hayes nasceva nel Galles ed è stato alzato sia in Nuova Zelanda che nel Regno Unito. Ciò ha condotto considerevolmente alla relativa parte equa delle complicazioni nella sue formazione ed identità culturale. Tuttavia, avvertire entrambi gli emisferi, lavoro del Hayes offre una miscela di mistica europea e dell'immediatezza Australasian con le influenze ricavate da musica, la letteratura, pellicola e della memoria e della corsa. Come la sua parabola principale Brian Eno ha seguito una formazione nelle arti visive anche se i suoi interessi sono lanciati troppo largamente affinchè lui fossero denominati tutta la una cosa (al produttore/fotografo/critico di ultimo conteggio). Tuttavia, it' s il precedente per quale è il più noto o sconosciuto? In il uno o il altro caso, piuttosto della musica che già è esistito, integrità lo ha condotto a formare la piccola pressa ambigua in 1998 con cui ha liberato parecchi libri della poesia compreso: A Lyrical Oasis (1997), Notate (2000) Circles & Bumps(2004) Voyage of Nomad (2001), Returning/Repeating (2003) e Temp (2005) basato sulle esplorazioni di Europa (limitazione compresa alla libreria leggendaria/writers' di Parigi & dello Shakespeare della ritirata; Co.), l'Australasia e Londra rispettivamente. Ha contribuito a molti pubblicazioni e Web site, pricipalmente 'All Music Guide,' 'Record Collector' e 'Lonely Planet' (Galles). In 2004 il suo progetto compilato RE:COVERED - una storia di arte della copertura di musica della Nuova Zelanda è andato in linea e 2007 un simposio retrospettivo delle nuove poesie delle buste vuote 1992-2007 è stato pubblicato. I suoi libri si sono acquistati dalle biblioteche universalmente ed hanno destato l'interesse di molti luminari quale la leggenda di roccia Robert Fripp, Iva Davies (Icehouse), Cocteau Twins e Lloyd Cole ed il produttore Peter Moore di corsa. Tristemente alcuni dei progetti che pluridisciplinari ha inteso con i musicisti, animatori ed i produttori cinematografici non si sono attuati mai. Eppure, Hayes rimane un nomade culturale producendo il lavoro che è sia contemporaneo che che spingono i contorni. I suoi libri sono stati fra il primo per caratterizzare ' forte language' avvertimenti, stile ' di DVD; fabbricazione del of' featurettes e soddisfare in alcuni casi nascosto - inascoltati nel mondo del libro. Durante il 2008 che enorme occupato ha trovato il tempo di esibire la fotographia, che sostenga la carità cieca RNIB, che liberi i battimenti del libro Beats Per Minute, che intervisti a-ha, che promuova gli attuatori australiani di arte romano Boom Crash Opera e dove I'm. che denomina - dalla sua collaborazione con Portugal's O Atlas che ha ventilato sulla radio di musica di BBC 6. Il seguente anno Hayes ha realizzato i progressi con il suo lavoro fotografico ed ha cominciato una vasta campagna della nuova edizione del e-libro che conduce al rilascio di nuovo libro delle poesie a Because of SE e delle progetto continue del '198 collaborations' cominciano 2010.

    Helo Kelvin.

    Thank you for your friend request.

    Yes, I like No-Man. First I've heard Porcupine Tree, then I was investigating other music projects that Steven Wilson participates, and I find, like others, No-Man.

    I see you like Beautiful and Cruel too. That's my favourite. Very addicted, and very very beautiful... But all the work of that band is delicated and spread strong emotions.

    Be well... with art and music.
