Space / Time - Redemption is the first duo recording by the legendary drummer and percussionist Milford Graves, who first rose to the forefront of improvised music in the mid 1960s as a member of the New York Art Quartet, through his solo and duo percussion performances and recordings and in groups led by Albert Ayler, Sonny Sharrock and many others, and the equally incomparable bassist Bill Laswell, who is known both for his unique bass artistry in groups like Material, Massacre and Last Exit as well as performing and recording with the likes of Ginger Baker, Herbie Hancock, James "Blood" Ulmer and John Zorn and working as a producer of countless sessions ranging from new age or rock influences to jazz and free improvisation.
On the five extended improvisations that comprise Space / Time · Redemption, Graves and Laswell, who have in recent years occasionally performed live as a duo at The Stone and other New York venues, jointly create a sound world all of their own. The recording took place at Bill Laswell's studios in West Orange, New Jersey.
