Hayes Greenfield

As an Electro-Acoustic, Looping, Spatial and Immersive Musician…

Hayes Greenfield is an Electro-Acoustic looping artist and musician who thrives on continually challenging his musical boundaries. Whether playing in an all acoustic setting or plugging into and processing his instruments through an extensive rig of guitar effects pedals and loopers, Hayes’ music is always personal, in the moment, and filled with rich, musical journeys that draws from his expansive musical history.

Prior to Covid-19, Hayes performed in quad and placed four speakers, one in each corner of the room surrounding his audience. This enabled him to have total control to move his layers of music 360 degrees around the room in surround sound. But given the loss of live performance, Hayes was driven to search out the next level of cutting edge technology, which enables all listeners worldwide to simply wear everyday headphones or earbuds to hear and enjoy all of the motion of his spatial and immersive music. Now, whether streaming a live performance or listening to a video using headphones and earbuds, everyone can hear Hayes’ music swirl, twist, bend, and dance around their heads in spatial, immersive, listening bliss. Just close your eyes, unwind your mind, and let your being wander about.
