Fractal Void - Elemental Collection
@fractalvoi_d

Fractal Void is an avant-garde duo based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Their experimental music blends electronic and contemporary genres located somewhere in the field of musical tension between ambient, drone, halfstep and floor-affine IDM. During their live sets, Fractal Void create vertical reflections by processing sounds through software and interaction with real instruments in every unique musical performance like the Chinese contemporary calligraphic practice Dishu.

Their debut album Elemental Collection unveils a dense and lavishly layered transformation of artificial organic signals, sculpting an auditory world filled with emotive landscapes, overgrown polyrhythms and futuristic elements. Embedded within each track are field recordings serving as the heartbeat of the album. Through innovative and expansive deconstruction, Fractal Void create an energetic and sometimes contemplative experience.

The persons behind Fractal Void:
Back in 2008, their musical journey began with winning a Spectrasonics competition using field recordings of a locker door, that was implemented as a bass synth. Their collaboration was continued as producers of the eight-piece electronic jazz project „Mothers of Guru“.

Marcus Scheltinga is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Besides studying jazz trombone at the Conservatorium Hilversum and the Folkwanghochschule, he works as a musical director, lecturer and coach in 39 countries around the world. From ZDF sound design to live and studio performances with international greats, his own productions have included such as Grammy winner Larry Carlton and Peter Erskine. Mid-east and Indian inspired, Marcus is a true story teller as a musician and composer.

BORGBORG is a producer and DJ. She moves freely in different styles of electronic music with a focus on avant-garde driving techno, dark hypnotic vibes seamlessly blended with deconstructed beats, noise and timeless elements of IDM. She is a member of About Repetition, a group of artists dedicated to the research of repetition through artistic means, collaborating with a wide range of other collectives across Europe and co-founder of the techno event series „SCHLEIFEN“.

Fractal Void - Elemental Collection

@thomastesink - Surface Veil

"This mix was created with the works of abstract and minimalist artist Robert Ryman in mind. As a painter solely interested in white, Ryman's exploration of the relationship between chromatic and achromatic tones finds its counterpart in the diverse textures and timbres interwoven throughout the mix. A varied range of electronic elements invites listeners to explore sonic landscapes akin to Ryman's exploration of the subtle nuances within a seemingly uniform color. The layered sonic shifts throughout the mix pay homage to the concept of creating complexity within apparent simplicity."

Ettore Rigadello is a DJ and music producer based in Venice, Italy. He began his musical journey during his teenage years, crafting beats for local rappers and collaborating with friends. Over time, he explored electronic music, experimenting with various styles under different aliases. In 2020, Ettore joined the BruTal collective in Venice, where he began organizing events across northern Italy and releasing music under his own name.

His sound is marked by a deep fascination with minimal, repetitive patterns designed to provoke awe and contemplation. Ettore's work emphasizes stark, artificial soundscapes and a sparse, atmospheric aesthetic. His contribution to the Flux Mix Series encapsulates this approach, guiding listeners through an hour-long exploration of meticulously crafted, monochromatic sound textures.

This December, Ettore Rigadello will also feature on Flux Collective’s next release, "shiny.non.definable.rarities.02".
