Perry Frank's music is influenced by Basinski, Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, Fennesz, Tycho, Bonobo, Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd.

La musica di Perry Frank diventa, traccia dopo traccia, una vera esperienza di ascolto per un modo non banale di approccio alla musica ambient.
C’è da essere orgogliosi che Italia ci siano musicisti così.
Ci si può davvero perdere nei paesaggi astratti disegnati dalle lente pennellate dei synth di Perry Frank, che quasi sembrano colare mentre cambiano lentamente di forma e colore.
La sua musica ha la capacità di tracciare scenari sonori, spazi visionari e in questo lavoro riesce a creare dei brani fortemente cinematografici e documentaristici
