Welcome to hayvend Radio
This project is currently under consideration for funding from the Arts Council of England, see below. regardless of this outcome we will be producing a series of "programs" from this site to be broadcast in real audio. Watch this space, join the mail list

our first "program" by a Bristol based band called vine, started by Roger Milles who was on of the first artists ever to appear in hayvend. You can here two songs in 8k, 16k and 20k real audio. The only thing that makes this music sound similar to other Bristol combos is that it sounds different.
There are 3 file sizes for each peice of audio. Select according to the speed of your conection. 32k is the best quality or you may want to load 8k so that you can browse the site easerly with audio in the background..

Hayvend Radio 12:08 29/09/99
[as submitted to A.C.E.]

A project combining internet audio and traditional cassette tape format.

Aims
To produce a bi-monthly cassette tape "radio" distributed through Hayvend and L.A.N [Loacl Artists Network see below], as well as other new methods of distibuting work. This funding will allow for tapes to appear in unusal places like buses and trains, cereal and soap packets, bottles in the sea.. Each bi-monthly "program" will be available from the internet from the Hayvend website. Instructions and advice will be given for copy tapes and distribution in other contrys. Content will be sourced for diversity, mixing street busking, music, conversation, news & intreviews. Tapes will feature web audio, thus making this global form of comunication accessable to those who don't have access to it. Hayvend has a number of links with musicians and DJs in the Bristol music scene, as well as London, which will be readaly exploited for the perpose of this project. Roger Miles, a trumpet layer and composer, made 10 tapes for the first launch of Hayvend in 1995.

Mission
In all the project aims to take music and sounds from the street, musicians studios and the web, re-compile all this content and distribute it via vanding machines, the street and the web...

Outline
The project will run over a period of one year with a total release of six tapes every two months. Each edition will comprise of 2000 tapes, 500 sold through the existing and expanded network of Hayvend machines, the other 1500 tapes being distributed through a Hayvends new Local Artists Network [L.A.N.] postal network. The first three artists will be selected from existing contacts, artists who have made audio work in the past or are known to Hayvend to make audio work. A group of about 12 atist will be invited to submit work for the first three tapes. These artists will be asked to enter a contract stateing that the work they produce is original, owned by them and free from third party copy right. Work for the second three tapes will be selceted from the responces from the first three tapes. Bearing in mind that the tapes will be left on buses and trains and that each tape will have a postage paid reply coupon inviting response and participation, we expect a diverse and unpredictable responce from people from all walks of life. We feel that this project will go further than the vending machines in distributing art in very public and unexpected places [the will be no piles of tapes dumped in art centres]. But whilst the project will distribute "artists art", it will also access and encourage art made by people who wouldn't call themselves artists. The last three tapes will be a measure of the projects success and distance the tapes manage to travel. Hayvend will reach the parts that other forms can't... The "B" side of the tape will contain a compelation of researched "net-audio" content. This will provide a non-computer based form of access to net-audio, and generaly a totaly new audiance. The project co-ordinater will work with a reseacher on each edition of the tape. The "B" side will form a kind of "net new" and presented in such a way as even someone who dosn't know what the Internet is will unedstand.

Local Artists Network [L.A.N.]
LAN normaly stands for Local Area network, and describes a situation were a number of computers in an office or organisation are all linked together and able to comunicate and share information. It is this principle that has lead to the inter-net and is the power that makes computers powerful Hayvend has for the last few months been developing it's own network of artists with a veiw to destributing work in new ways as well as reaserching ideas and gaining feedback. Artists contributing to Hayvend live all over England as well some in Europe, USA and other countries. Many of these artists are all to keen to be involed in this new network, making it possible to promote and distribute new artworks. L.A.N. is an integeral part of this project as well as future Hayvend projects. We feel that this method of placing art in new environments [buses, trains etc.] is self puplisizing personified, and should have little trouble gaining press interest. L.A.N. also plans to research other forms of disemination such as balloon realess's and bottles in the sea. For Hayvend Radio project between 100 and 150 artist will distribute 10 tapes each per 2 months. A smaller number will be sent abroude. Each tape will contain return postage and questionar and invitation to take part, for the "finder" to fill in and return. Artists taking part in L.A.N. will be asked to fill in a small report to give some idea of the successful placement of the tapes.

Overall aims
This project is more taylored to fit in with Hayvends current working stratages, but builds on existing methods and enabling it to reach a greater audiance. Hayvend has always been committed to making art avialable and affordable to a far wider public. Through our new postal Local Artists Network [L.A.N.] we will be able to place work in completly new and unexpected locations. We feel that "finding" art is a new and exciting way of partaking in art, avoiding the conatations of gallery visiting and shopping. The Hayvend Radio project will brouden participation in Hayvend by ordinary members of the public. As well as being accessable to people outside the artistic community Hayvend is ever more keen for these poeple to become envolved and contribute.

Overview
Hayvend was started in 1995 by John Hayward with a view to selling and promoting artists work in a genuinly alternative way, to this end Hayvend has helped approx 200 artists and sold many thousands of small artists multibles in reconditioned vending machines. In assocaition with Backspace we have produced a web site giving each artist thier own page documenting thier work, as well as vertual veiws of vending machine locations, press cuttings and information for other Hayvend projects. Realtime, finished this year, is a cdrom that plays back it's 24hr audio recording at the same time as it was recorded. An extensive web-site, containing over 100 pictures taken during recording as well as text contributed by people in the recording. Hyper-mart a new project selling digital artwork on floppy discs in new Hayvend machines. It is envisaged that this proposed Hayvend Radio will run in tandem with Hyper-mart. Hayvend is also researching a newspaper, a self-developing pin hole camera and a series of poetry balloons.
