Nina Hynes
Nina has been playing with recorded sound since about the age of seven when she used to collect the tapes of bleeps from the heart machines in a hospital where her auntie worked. She used to record herself singing over the bleeps. She started the piano around this time also and wrote her first song at the age of eight about a man who used to dress up as a woman called 'Big Woman'. Since then, she has learned the guitar and her solo shows often incorporate live-layering and sampling using guitar pedals, spoons and whatever is at hand. She writes songs and tunes on guitar, piano, harp, computer or whatever instrument is lying around. Often, her shows are atmospheric using costumes and visuals edited live to the music. She has performed on over twenty compilations and releases and has collaborated with many people including the experimental French composer Hector Zazou and Brian Eno collaborator, Harold Budd. Her first solo release ‘Creation’ (mini-album) was in 1999 and her subsequent debut album ‘Staros’ was in 2002. Both are critically acclaimed in Europe and America and have been released throughout Ireland and the USA.
