Cradle Vinyl

Phi-Psonicsis a meditative, immersive instrumental group from Los Angeles, led by bassistSeth Ford-Youngand featuringSylvain Cartonon woodwinds,Mitchell Yoshidaon electric piano, andJosh Collazoon drums. Their deeply soulfulmusic draws on jazz and classical influences together with Ford-Young's own musical experiences, relationships, and his introduction to spirituality, yoga and philosophy at a young age, to create something uniquely it's own. The music that would becomeThe Cradle, wasn't written specifically for an album, originally Ford-Youngwas just writing down what was coming through. As time went by and the album began to take shape, the world situation seemed to be getting darker and his compositions aim to offer hope as a response to the negative influences that abound today. Remarkably for such a beautiful sounding record, it was recorded at the composer's home, rather than in a studio, but the relaxed nature of this process gives the music an airy lightness that propels the music to some magical spaces.
