about

Inner islander Sean Conrad launched his splinter ambient endeavor Channelers to make what he calls “essentialized sounds:” liquid states of intentional non-intentionality, conjured with keyboards, bowed guitar, flute, and voice. For Being, his latest, began in 2016 as a series of sessions all sharing this same title, in an attempt to “steer my subconscious mind.” The tracks emerged patiently, from a place of intuition and experiential listening, eventually numbering 40+ pieces. Conrad edited and finessed them, looping sections through FX and layering in whispers of electric and acoustic textures, seeking to evoke “the simplest conceivable state: being.”

From the chiming horizon infinity of “Tuning In” to the stardust planetarium glow of “Through And Through,” the album achieves a unique synergy of naturalist wonder and subliminal bliss, effectively disappearing within its own subdued cyclical serenities. It’s music as refracted light, clouds spilling down peaks to the sea, the molecular hum swirling inside every cell. Tellingly, Conrad cites the “reclamation of time” as a central muse, which suits these elusive levitational mandalas, where minutes contain multitudes, time unfolds, and being becomes a shining path.
