Sean McCann

Sean McCann is a drone artist and a sound sculptor based in Los Angeles, California. McCann continues to establish himself in the circle of drone musicians since his wake in 2008. His vision is shaped by his approach, creating richly textured ambient drones and blissful synthscapes, each track with a unique instrumental axis. McCann’s orchestration has varied from banjo, violin, piano, electric guitar, to synthesizer and a plethora of other techniques throughout his catalog. McCann makes the transition from his field recordings to his improvisations like a drop into the abyss, fulfilling an amorphous shape to the loose fitting flow of his work.
