　　Kevan was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. He graduated from Loughborough University of Technology with a BSc in Economic and Technological History and Social Psychology in 1975. Kevan began his career as a lighting designer for rock bands including Jethro Tull, Ultravox, XTC and Steve Hackett.

　　Kevan于蘇格蘭愛丁堡出生并長大。1975年，他畢業(yè)于拉夫堡技術大學，獲經(jīng)濟與技術史、社會心理學雙學士學位。他的照明設計生涯緣起于為一些搖滾樂隊做燈光設計。

　　In 1985 he forsook life on the road to realise some long-standing ideas in lighting effects equipment, developing a theatrical lighting effects system for DHA Lighting in London. At this time his lighting design work focused on TV and video projects, including ETC, a live music series for Channel 4, and the MTV World Music Video Awards. He also developed a number of architectural and exhibition lighting schemes at DHA.

　　1985年是他的人生轉折點，對燈光設備的誤區(qū)有了長足的認識，逐漸為倫敦DHA燈光公司發(fā)展出一套戲劇化的舞美系統(tǒng)。當時，他的主要設計工作是關于電視與電臺的項目，包括電視頻道的音樂真人秀、MTV世界音樂音頻大典等。同時期，他也參與了很多建筑與展示照明的設計。

　　In 1989 Kevan returned to his native town of Edinburgh to practise as a lighting designer in the architectural and exhibition area, establishing KSLD. He has led the KSLD team on over 590 projects. While all valuable in their way, Kevan identifies the following projects as being particularly significant for KSLD.

　　1989年，Kevan回到家鄉(xiāng)愛丁堡，創(chuàng)建自己的公司KSLD，從事建筑照明與展示照明的設計。迄今為止，他和他的團隊已經(jīng)完成了大大小小590多個項目，廣受好評。其中最有代表性的有：

　　The Art Lover’s House, Glasgow (1989) 藝術愛好者的家，格拉斯哥(1989)

　　The Public Institute for Social Security, Kuwait (2001) 社會公共安全研究所，科威特(2001)

　　Alighting: You began your career as a lighting designer for rock bands. What was the work like? Could it be interpreted as stage lighting?

　　《阿拉丁》：您開啟燈光設計的職業(yè)生涯是從搖滾樂隊開始的，那是一份什么樣的工作?可以理解為舞臺燈光嗎?

　　Kevan Shaw: This was most definitely stage lighting. I was touring with bands and tended to be responsible for technical as well as design issues. This is a big learning experience and develops a lot of problem solving skills. The design included operating the show so being involved in the musical performance. I was very interested in relating the stage aesthetic to the music and lyrics in a theatrical way, whilst paying a lot of attention to rhythm and dynamics.

　　K.S.:是的，就是舞美。我跟隨樂隊巡演，負責燈光有關的設計與技術。那是一個很大的學習機會，讓我累積了豐富的經(jīng)驗與設計技巧。燈光舞美參與并融入音樂表演。我對燈光與音樂和歌曲的戲劇性聯(lián)接方式很感興趣，也非常注意燈光的節(jié)奏與力度。

　　Alighting: You have works of many types, such as stage lighting, exhibition lighting, architectural lighting and light art installations. Which attracts you the most? Why?

　　《阿拉丁》：您的作品涵蓋了舞臺燈光，展示照明，建筑照明，燈光裝置等等。哪個領域是您最感興趣的?為什么?

　　Kevan Shaw: The great thing about lighting is that all these varied areas bring different experiences. Each of them has their own attractions so I find it difficult to say that any one attracts me more than the other. What I enjoy is the learning and discovery that every form of lighting brings in abundance with new things to light and new technologies to light with.

　　K.S.: 燈光最棒的就是所有這些不同的領域都能給你帶來不一樣的體驗。每一個類別都有其各自的魅力，所以，我很難說喜歡哪種燈光多一些。我很享受學習和發(fā)現(xiàn)不同的燈光形式所帶來的新載體和新技術。
