James Bright is a producer and musician who creates music that flows naturally from places and bodies, a continuous fluid that brings out certain vibrations that are around and within us. “Imaginal” on Life On Earth Recordings is an album of his own material, and with two tracks where he collaborates with singer Gaeya. James is an explorer of sounds beyond music, occupying that sonic spectrum of music that makes the listener feel good and uplifts the spirit, which is increasingly difficult in this age of ugliness. The beauty here can be felt and touched, in a continuum of positive emotions. Listening to this record is like entering a world illuminated by two suns, where plants grow free and impetuous, where the air is different and people live and think differently than on ours, or rather on our planet it was like this then we arrived.
If one were to speak of genres here, ambient and electronic experimentation reigns supreme, starting with the great fathers of the genre, but we also find something contemporary and even cinematic in the way the songs are structured. “Imaginal” is exactly what its title means, an imagining of other worlds and other forms of life and the interactions with them, with a sound carpet of very fine and truly poignant electronics, powerful and evocative, with a very high elegance. James Bright is a producer who has a very precise and profound idea of electronic and ambient music, he creates deep, organic and alive soundscapes, almost an electronic psychedelia, with pure frequencies that make the listener feel good.
The two tracks where Gaeya uses her voice are two beautiful variations on the album’s theme of creating music that equally penetrates the mind, soul and body, succeeding fully. Musical creation that creates in turn, in an infinite spiral that ascends to the heavens. Sounds that go beyond music, a work full of life and light created with electronics in its highest sense. Ambient and contemporary electronic music come together in a record to be heard and experienced.
