From hard and unapologetic club bangers to sweet and crunchy electronic ballads, this relentless iconoclast seems able to do it all within a half nuts, half dancefloor lo-fi setting.
F.r.a.c.t.a.l is the project of Paris-based producer Jérémie Kaminski,
a self-taught musician and mad sonicist who thrives on always re-inventing
himself and exploring new grounds.
"I'm always looking for new ways to create music," he says.
"That's why I always use exotic controllers like the Percussa
AudioCubes, Lemur, Tenori-On etc... to manipulate sounds."
Kaminski was not born into a musical family but the fanaticism of an
uncle towards the Purple Funk of Prince and a passion for skateboarding,
that opened up his ears to Hip Hop, with acts such as Naughty by Nature
and Public Enemy, were a good place to get an early education.
Where most teenagers aspire to be in a band and play guitar, Kaminski
was interested in drum machines and synths. Upon hearing Wish by
Nine Inch Nail his fate was sealed.
He became a member of a local band, Insekur, that toured a lot around
Paris. But the urge to make his own music soon forced him to go solo, the
creation being a solitary thing for Kaminski, and thus was born
F.r.a.c.t.a.l.
