“Phi-Psonics is a spiritual exploration of being together and
connecting,” says acoustic bassist Seth Ford-Young of the immersive
project he initiated in East Los Angeles in 2016. For his third
long-player under the Phi-Psonics banner, Ford-Young marshalled a series
of live recordings at Healing Force Of The Universe records in
Pasadena, sculpting fourteen tracks, largely composed in the moment with
a fluctuating cast of players, which wonderfully transmit his ideals of
community and inner peace.
Ford-Young says of Expanding to One..."We live in increasingly dark
times and while I intend our music to be a balm to those who connect
with it, I also want the context of our musical conversations to include
the outer as much as our inner worlds. The music we make doesn’t exist
in a vacuum and the backdrop of injustice and tragedy in our world has
to be part of our music.”
