Today we’d like to introduce you to Fractions.
Fractions, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
The product of over a decade of jam sessions, drum circles, constant tinkering with various rock stylings, and a burgeoning love of electronic music, Fractions is the latest and most comfortable iteration of Soroya Rowley and brothers in crime, Andrew and Matt Steele. With strong 80s and 90s influences ranging from thrash metal to Britney Spears, a heavy dose of 80s synth, and a newfound maturity that only seasoned collaborators can arrive at, Fractions is poised to become a mainstay of the San Diego music scene.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
Fractions appeals to our increasingly future-focused ideology and tech-laden interpretations of the world. We’re so intertwined with technology that we experience a deep bond with our machines. Even though we’ve spent a decade in the context of conventional rock, the electric, synthetic soundscapes increasingly connect with us. Fractions is an exploration of the no-man’s land between live musicians and the machines they feel connected to.
Artists rarely, if ever pursue art for the money. Nonetheless, we all have bills and responsibilities and many aspiring artists are discouraged from pursuing art due to financial reasons. Any advice or thoughts you’d like to share with prospective artists?
Our culture doesn’t support art that isn’t on a massive commercial scale. Unless you make it big in titanic industrial complexes such as Hollywood, making a living as an artist is nearly impossible. Within that reality, most artists can’t support themselves with their art–and we’re no different. Short version: we all have day jobs.
What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
People can find us on Facebook, Instagram, and SoundCloud. We also play around town every few months at venues of choice such as The Merrow, Ken Club, and Black Cat Bar.
