Words and music meet in unexpected ways. Poems turn into lyrics. Music provides a home for “found” texts. Songs have literary origins. “An audacious artist [who] flouts genre limitations, singing songs for the love of it and delivering an inventive, thrilling, appealing musical vision.” (Jordan Richardson, Blogcritics.com)

Gene Ess & Fractal Attraction
‘Fractal’ is the name given to images, landscapes, sounds, and any other pattern that is self-similar in nature, that is, if you look at one small part, no matter how small, you get a sense of the whole picture. With this in mind, the music was composed from an open (a la jazz) perspective and not a rigid adherence to any rules or subsets of rules imposed by the fractal composing techniques. The result is a collection of swinging music that simultaneously looks forward and backward like a spiral ascending. Front line of voice and guitar creates a timbre that is compelling and heartfelt.
