Fractal Mirror biography
The origins of FRACTAL MIRROR can be traced back to the mid-eighties when three friends from Amsterdam started to make music together influenced by bands from the famous 4AD label and artists like David SYLVIAN and JAPAN. At the same time a new wave of progressive rock was expanding its listening audience. Bands like IQ, PENDRAGON, TWELFTH NIGHT, MARILLION and PALLAS but especially the virtually unknown Canadian band TERRACED GARDEN have been a big influence.

Fast Forward to 2012:
Two of the original members are still working together but the musical focus has shifted towards contemporary pop/rock music with progressive rock influences. If the band has to label their own music they would settle on Alternative (Progressive) Rock. Their music is song based and there are no long instrumental passages or difficult time signatures. The music has a dark, raw edge and they often use Mellotron sounds. Via Facebook a drummer from the States is found and after working out recording logistics through some demos the band decides on the name FRACTAL MIRROR. At the end of 2012 tracks were recorded at home for a CD. The drum tracks were recorded at a studio in New Jersey in the summer of 2013. These tracks were then mixed and mastered in August at the Autumnsongstudios in Trondheim, Norway by Rhys MARSH from RHYS MARSH and the AUTUMN GHOSTS (recently interviewed in Classic Rock Presents Prog). 'STRANGE ATTRACTORS' is the name of their debut album and was released independently on November 8th 2013. It contains 10 tracks. The last 6 tracks of the album form a song cycle called ''A LIFE IN DARKNESS'' and deals with the rise and demise of a serial killer.

A new album is written and is currently being recorded with a planned release for late 2014. Bedsides the three musicians (Ed van HAAGEN, Leo KOPERDRAAT and Frank L. URBANIAK) the band also consists of a video artists (André de BOER) and a photographic artist (Brian WATSON) enabling the band to express themeselves not only through music but also through beautiful still and moving images.
