Hayden B. Siegel

Hayden B. Siegel (3rd of Tevet, 5748 - Present) is an American musician who gained notoriety during his college years for his abilities as a Jazz bassist. During this period he also performed with Brazos River Outlaw Society (B.R.O.S.) with Kelly Mcknight and Scott Willingham. After a dramatic incident at Weatherford College Hayden left to perform for three seasons with the Fort Worth Civic Orchestra performing as their fourth chair bassist under the direction of Toby Gnuyen. In his first season he performed and recorded with Swan Lin after the Fort Worth Symphony purchased a second Stradivari Violin and was promoted to Third Chair the following season. Hayden would recount that this helped him in rounding out his education between Jazz and Classical music. Along side his time performing with the Fort Worth Civic Orchestra Hayden also regularly played Open Mic Nights to assist in cultivating a scene as a member of the Fort Worth Music Co-op.
In 5773 Hayden began working as a Musical Coordinator along side Cantor Shoshana Abrams having developed an expressed interest in studying Jewish ethnomusicology, later this would inspire Hayden to studying the tropes used in Cantillation. The two began the tradition of Rocking Rauch inviting local musicians to perform Hebrew songs with the congregation to raise community awareness. In early 5774 a marked shift in the music and life of Hayden occurred after he was deprived of his right to a trial by the Texas Judicial system. The event ultimately forced him to flee the United States of America to reside in Sweden where he lived in exile. During this period of Hayden's life he often performed the Bob Dylan song "Call Letter Blues" with Chuck Anthony in Stockholm; the proceeding year Bob Dylan won the Nobel Literate which is awarded in Stockholm.
Returning to the United States in 5775 Hayden went into hiatus and began working on a study for publication and in 5778 the first known monograph of Siegel Harmonics was published after receiving a peer-review from an independent panel of experts in physics and musicology.
