Hayden is a UK born artist and composer based in Berlin and Helsinki whose practice revolves around installation and performative sonic art. Their work often centres on inner experience, language and reduction of hierarchies within sound and other materials.
A background in experimental music has led to works that focus on the visual influence on expectation as well as the multiple interplays between artist, performer and audience.
