“An ongoing personal ancestral dialogue with the folk musics and drone-based traditions from the British Isles and Ukraine.”
Released on their Oakland label Inner Islands, Time, Space, and Thought is Sean Conrad’s 13th full-length album as Channelers. As on Another Entrance and Messages from One of Deeper Within—both featured in our list of the best ambient music from the Bay Area in 2021—the new work is a largely acoustic journey into sonic exploration and spiritual meditation. The title suggests the process, as Conrad dedicated deep wells of time, space, and thought to themselves and their practice, allowing the instruments to lead the way in a free, improvisational way. It’s perfectly peaceful, as good for the early morning and midday sun as it is for middle of the night. Press play and float away.
