Robin Hayward

Robin Hayward, tuba
Robin Hayward by Brad Martin

'An extraordinary tuba player' - The New York Times

'...astounding... technical mastery and musicality' - Paris Transatlantic Magazine

'As always, Hayward’s control and phrasing are a pleasure to experience... this large beast (is) played with such facility and restraint as you normally get from the trumpeters in this field' - Bagatellen

The tuba player and composer Robin Hayward was born in Brighton, England in 1969. He studied classical music at the University of Manchester and tuba at the Royal Northern College of Music. After graduating in 1991 he was involved in the improvised and experimental music scenes in Manchester and London. In 1998 he moved to Berlin, where he played an active role in the shaping of the Echtzeitmusik scene. He has introduced revolutionary playing techniques to brass instruments, initially through the discovery of the 'noise-valve' in 1996, and later through the development of the first fully microtonal tuba in 2009. In 2012 he invented the Hayward Tuning Vine, partly out of a desire to visualize the harmonic space implicit within the microtonal tuba. His approach to the tuba has been documented in the solo releases Valve Division, States of Rushing, Nouveau Saxhorn Nouveau Basse and Rubble Master, along with numerous collaborative releases, such as with the microtonal tuba trio Microtub and the tuba and double bass duo Reidemeister Move. In 2005 he founded the ensemble Zinc & Copper to explore brass chamber music from an experimental music perspective.

Der Tubist und Komponist Robin Hayward wurde 1969 in Brighton/England geboren. Er studierte Musiktheorie und Komposition an der University of Manchester und Tuba am Royal Northern College of Music. Nach seinem erfolgreichen Abschluss im Jahr 1991 war er in den Improvisations- und experimentellen Musikszenen Manchesters und Londons aktiv. Seit 1998 lebt und arbeitet er in Berlin, wo er u.a. die Echtzeitmusikszene mitprägte. In seinem Schaffen hat Robin Hayward radikale Innovationen im Bereich der Spieltechniken von Blechblasinstrumenten eingeleitet, zuerst im Jahr 1996 durch die Entdeckung des „Geräusch-Ventils“ und später durch die Entwicklung der ersten völlig mikrotonalen Tuba im Jahr 2009. 2012 erfand er das Hayward Tuning Vine, welches u.a. aus dem Wunsch resultierte, den mit der mikrotonalen Tuba realisierbaren harmonischen Raum darzustellen. Sein besonderer musikalischer Ansatz wurde sowohl durch seine Solo-Aufnahmen Valve Division, States of Rushing, Nouveau Saxhorn Nouveau Basse und Rubble Master als auch durch Aufnahmen mehrerer Kooperationsprojekte dokumentiert, so etwa mit dem mikrotonalen Tubatrio Microtub und dem Tuba-Kontrabass-Duo Reidemeister Move. 2005 gründete er das Ensemble Zinc & Copper, um die Möglichkeiten von Blechblasinstrumenten aus der Perspektive der experimentellen Musik zu erforschen.
