Abstract
This paper presents Fractals, an exploratory music project by the author, which aims to uniquely blend various genres across multiple sections. The distinctiveness of this project lies in the author’s experience as a versatile musician, with experience ranging from rock bands and big bands to chamber orchestras, coupled with proficiency as a producer/DJ. This background of musical experience allows the author to approach the blend of genres with a unique perspective. The collection of songs serves as a precursor for four separate EPs: The project is not just a musical amalgamation but also an academic inquiry into the evolution of these genres, including an analysis of influential works and a reflection on the potential for innovative soundscapes in electronic music. Through this project, the author endeavors to leave a personal stamp on the electronic music scene, showcasing a synthesis of diverse musical influences and creative experimentation. This endeavor aims to contribute a distinctive auditory experience to the electronic music landscape, underlined by the author's unique musical journey. This paper was written with the assistance from generative artificial intelligence. Additional information in Appendix II.
