Jason Haye

Jason Haye's interests in the artistic practice began in 2001 where he studied music production at the Weekend Arts College and Midi Music Company in London. During that period a passion for video editing led to him pursuing a career in the post production industry.

Haye continued to experiment with sound and in 2007 he created Project 5am which was inspired by a moment of illumination and the Allen Ginsberg poem ‘Five am’.

It was under this banner where Haye started to produce a series of interdisciplinary works. In 2008 the electronica album ‘Quixotes of Moons Fight The Windmills of Brixton’ was released on the Monotonik net label. 2009 marked his first audiovisual performance that took place in the Camden venue, Inspiral Lounge.

The same year provided a collaboration with performance artists ‘Sounds In Bloom’, producing the piece ‘Space Mothlight’ which was inspired by experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage.

An aspiration to express creativity in a different practice which included film, photography and poetry led Haye to explore the process of art installations.

In 2010 Project 5am was selected to take part in 'Interrogation', a relational aesthetics project based in West Bromwich. In 2012/2013 a selection of films were featured at the 7th International Art And Music Festival in Lithuania and the video ‘Some kind of wonderful’ was one of the 142 films chosen for the Danish film auteur Lars Von Trier community project 'Gesamt' which was part of the 2012 Copenhagen Art Festival.
