Today, Craig Wedren shares news of his latest release, Sabbath Sessions Summer 2022. Available on September 9th to celebrate the final full moon of Summer 2022 – the Harvest Moon – the album features two extended tracks of live improvised vocal-looping performances, “Affixed To Memory” and “You On The Couch.” The new album follows his Spring installment of the album series (listen here) and his 2020 podcast (listen here), and you can hear a 3-minute excerpt from the album’s “You On The Couch” here: https://youtu.be/wmDLp-mrNfo.
“To honor the waning days of summer and the full Harvest Moon on Sept. 9-10, I’m chuffed to share ‘Sabbath Sessions Summer 2022’,” notes Wedren. “This collection features two live, improvised vocal performances documented somewhere in/around L.A., some time within the last year or so… Close your eyes, listen, and see what comes up.”
The Sabbath Sessions series is intended to help facilitate connection to self and imagination, born out of the introspection of his longtime mindfulness and wellness practices and uniting many different strands of his varied musical aptitudes. These musical meditations represent his first explorations of ambient choral music, where Wedren’s technique of sampling and looping his famously elastic voice results in a unique kind of sound bath. To celebrate the release of Sabbath Session Summer 2022, Wedren will perform a live Sabbath Session sound bath along with light yoga lead by Lea Lion on Sunday, September 11 at Los Angeles’ Heartbeat House (3191 Casitas Ave. #112, Los Angeles, CA 90039).
