It's hard to overstate Paul Masvidal's influence on metal's development. Alongside Chuck Schuldiner, he planted the seeds of technical and progressive death metal with Death's Human album - seeds he cultivated with his own band Cynic, whose influence can be heard to this day.
I spoke to Paul about his new solo project, the use of isochronic tones in his songs, as well as his collaboration with sound engineer Stéphane Pigeon. And since I couldn't let the conversation go by without discussing Cynic, I asked Paul' to share his thoughts on the band's legacy and influence, the current status of the band, and how he feels about Cynic being referred to as "yoga metal".
My thanks again to Paul for speaking to me, and to you for listening.
