Fractal (Definition)

fractal |ˈfraktəl|

noun

a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modeling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth, fluid turbulence, and galaxy formation.

Fractal Folk (Band)

fractal |ˈfraktəl| folk |fōk|

noun

a montage of Southern-Maryland musicians performing distinctive original music, each part contributing to the musical character of the whole. Fractal Folk defies classification (such as rock, blues, or jazz), reaching across genre for their own musical niche, which may partly be described as a quirky musical show not to be missed.

Fractal Folk is an evolution of the Southern Maryland band, “Baker’s Boys.”

Avant-garde original music, eight-part vocals, a soaring brass section, and a poetic design, make Fractal Folk performances absolutely unforgettable.

Composer and arranger Krys Baker, is a multi-instrumentalist playing over a dozen different instruments. The versatile band is comprised of a mix of local and professional musicians gifting the audience with the sounds of mandolin, drums, bowed psaltry, electric bass, acoustic guitars, piano, trumpets, trombones, flutes, clarinet, saxophone, hand percussion, and harmonica... just to name a few. Eclectic is a Fractal Folk mantra. At home at festivals, wine tastings, coffee shops, pubs, parties, and picnics, Fractal Folk can provide groups of any size, providing distinctive original music for practically all venues.

So take a seat, lend an ear, and don't forget to ask, “Why So Many Muffins?”
