Spa Day is Abe Mamet’s new album for ‘solo’ French horn. The entire tape is a journey in sonic meditation, and invites the listener to embark on a guided experience of aural acupuncture. Side A features Abe on French horn and electric bass, and is layers of both instruments along with meaningful environmental music recorded during Abe’s many life adventures. That side ends with a collaboration with drummer Jillian Upshaw. Side B is composed of two improvised sessions – recorded direct to tape – from Abe and guitarist/co-producer Walsh Kunkel. These songs feature no overdubs; all effects were recorded live.
The live performance will feature 5 extremely sensitive improvisers as they unblock your sonic pressure points. Each will have a solo set, and then we will go for the big blockages with a group set at the end.
