“Into a Bright Land” is in turns crystalline and delicate, warm and lush as a thick blanket. Create Digital Music
...many elements appear that make evident Frank’s willingness to push his sound into unexpected places. For me, that makes Into a Bright Land all the more profound an experience." Ari Delaney, Bandcamp
Into a Bright Land tells a story of California's natural places, through field recordings, immense synthetic textures and acousmatic sounds. The album was born from acoustic ecology studies by Puremagnetik sound designer Micah Frank; captured on the shores of Point Reyes to mountains in Big Sur and ancient forests of Yosemite. It was later assembled in the studio and augmented with algorithmic programming in Csound.
The result is a journey through landscapes possibly visited by the likes of Boards Of Canada, Susumu Yakota or GAS. It continues these musical conversations and establishes a solid foundation for the launch of the Puremagnetik label; which has plans for a packed release schedule this year.
