Putting your creative process in words is difficult, but for Paul Masvidal, founding member of Cynic, his 30+ year musical career has given him a unique perspective on the mystery behind his creativity. The endless possibilities that avail themselves when on one removes their ego from the creative process is the entire ethos behind his music-making. Cynic’s From Nothing, is not only a performance, but it's also a conversation with Masvidal about the journey he took to become the musician he is today.
Rooted in 90’s extreme metal, Cynic’s has inspired audiences far and wide technically, emotionally, and spiritually. Revered as one of the best living guitarists, Masvidal’s enormous body of work, both in and out of the context of metal, speaks to the authenticity of his musicianship. Speaking with him, he has a discernible sageness grounded in compassion and empathy.
In 2020, after 30 years of musical brotherhood, Cynic’s co-founding members Sean Reinert and Sean Malone died. The loss sent shockwaves through Cynic’s communities, but it was especially difficult for Masvidal. These men were the backbone of the unequivocal melodies of countless recordings and were considered some of the best of the best in their own disciplines. On this tour, Cynic pays tribute to Reinert and Malone, performing works they co-wrote with him dating all the way back to 1993.
Grief is a humbling experience and Masvidal is not immune to the grief’s life altering power. However, Masvidal has taken grief head on, using it for evolution for himself, his art, and his community. His wisdom is a guiding light for anyone on their creative journey. We’re very honored to share this brilliant performance and conversation from Cynic on Audiotree From Nothing!

One time, I walked into a random dispensary in Moreno Valley of all places. Wearing my CBA sweater, while listening to Adam's Murmur. I suddenly hear from behind the counter area, "Is that you playing Cynic?". We shared our appreciation for Cynic for a bit, and he gave me some free edibles. What a cool little connection. Ps. I have a friend who's not really into Cynic. I always try to get him to listen and even bought him Kbtfu. I even sent him this and told him I personally invited him to listen to it. And he just avoids talking about my favorite band. I wonder why. But it doesn't bother me. If Cynic speaks to you, it speaks to you. If it doesn't, it's not for you. This is the most unique and outofthisworld band and I'm just glad to be part of this niche story from the hearts of a Paul and the rest of Cynic, old and new.

Paul Masvidal is a freaking genius. I remember hearing Focus for the first time at a party at my sister's place i think it was 1994. A bandmate of her boyfriend at the time, Geoff said to me, "Hey, check this out". He put Focus in the CD player and Veil of Maya started and i was immediately sucked in. At some point, the house got completely silent and everyone stopped what they were doing and listening. Our minds were completely blown. After the disc stopped, Geoff looked at me and said " You're welcome". Geoff was friends with Sean Malone and had the pleasure of just jamming with him many times. Lucky dude for sure. Focus was on repeat the rest of the night.
