Multi-Instrumentalists for Hire in California, United States

"I’ve never heard anything like SÆPIENA before—and I mean that in the best way possible. Their sound is a primal, hypnotic force that feels like it’s been unearthed from some ancient ritual. The guitars howl and churn with this raw, tribal energy, like a storm rolling over forgotten ruins. And then there’s Saepiena—the marble. Yes, you read that right. The way they incorporate this tiny sphere into their playing is nothing short of sorcery. It adds this eerie, unpredictable texture, like whispers from another dimension cutting through the distortion. Listening to them is less like attending a concert and more like being initiated into something sacred and slightly dangerous. If tribal heaviness, experimental chaos, and unhinged creativity are your thing, SÆPIENA will consume you. Five stars—would let Saepiena haunt my dreams again." — M. Vex, Host of "Obscure Sonic Rituals" Podcast

Shannon Hayden and Lily and Madeleine left SPACE in Awe - "Few sets start off as strong and as determined as Shannon Hayden's did on Friday night. An overlapping recording of Edie Sedgwick stood as the introduction to "Silver Superstar," leading the way for what is probably the best introduction to Hayden's music. There was an immediate grandness to her electric cello, which she loops over and over to create even more depth than the beginning moments promise. It was actually breathtaking seeing her bowing with such finesse all the while creating timed loops. The second song only added to her skill, replacing the recording of Sedgwick her own voice as an added sound to loop along with her cello and sprinkles of crackling filling in the background. At time the sounds of sparks turned more menacing, becoming loud mechanical cranking that only subsided to allow Hayden's intricate musicianship to reveal itself." - Gapers Block
