The latest @fragilex album brings new meaning to the term “labour of love”. It’s an album that’s been in the works for quite some time. The album is inspired by a long term obsession with fractals and their never ending possibilities.

The original production process on the “Curves and Calculus” album began back in 2018 and in the 7 years since its original inception it has morphed and splintered in many directions to allow all the parts of the puzzle to fall into place.

The finished article is a musical maze, brimming with all manner of corridors and pathways to explore. Pulling in inspirations from every angle of the electronic spectrum and integrating them into a mesmerising journey full of colour, serenity and warmth.

We enter and end the trip in an ambient mood but along the way there’s a nod to the psychedelic aspect that is so often associated with fractals, when we take on a trippier tone as the tracks burst into life through twists of intricate drums and flashes of glowing energy and shifts in motion. Mirroring the boundless nature and expansion of infinity.

All the shapes we experience come lined with effervescent melodies, glitchy sonic backdrops, glassy textures and a constant propulsive motion. Always kinetic, looking for the next move, like the fractal.

“Curves and Calculus” is an audio landscape that is constantly evolving. No real beginning, no real end. A symphony of infinite equations.

A fantasy inspired mix I did for the lovely folks at Borscht Radio https://borscht.live/public/borscht_radio

"One thing I can say with certainty that has informed my identity just as much as music is my love for reading, my bandcamp collection rivalled only by my vast collection of books and comics that take over most corners of my apartment. And just like ambient music has an especially big place in my heart, the same can be said about fantasy novels. 

From my childhood favourite series The Edge Chronicles (the map of which I got tattooed across my chest as an adult) to Ursula K Le Guin’s Earthsea books, to modern masterpieces like Simon Jimenez’s The Spear Cuts Through Water, these books have imprinted themselves on my very being. They imagine worlds of magical possibility, but also don’t shy away from very real and increasingly immediate topics such as war, xenophobia, greed, mans exploitation of the earth, of women, of children, of innocence and all things good. Even in the older classics like Lord of the Rings where the line between good and evil are much more obvious than the grey morality of our world, there exists within much more relatable human stories of friendship, of commitment to those you love and those who will come after, of putting your life on the line for the future prosperity of those you believe should be protected.

I am not ashamed to admit that I try to live my life according to how my favourite characters in fantasy would act. I think there is this idea that reading fantasy should be an escape, but I refute that, much like I disagree that ambient music should be used simply as a balm to block out the world and help us ignore reality. These books and music that we love that imagine a better world make me want to live life in a way where we can make that happen, standing strong with our communities and forever fighting against injustice."

Il Est Viril is the collaboration between Femme Viril and half of Il est Vilaine, who together craft shamanic and incantatory sets infused with synthetic energy. Cold hedonism, sharp guitars, mutant synthesizers - each selection is like a dark black licorice candy, an invitation to smoking and sensuality in a time of cold war.
