RED (part 3 of 4)<br />Fraction Theory debuting in front of thousands live on the main stage at the Phila Folk Fest...<br /><br />Saturday night set- 8/15/2009<br /><br />www.FractionTheory.com<br /><br />- - - In Fraction Theory, Nex Millen and Gary Dann weave drum beats with pieces of songs from legendary artists of the past to create a brand new sound. This DJ/Producer and Drummer/Producer duo from Philadelphia shows respect to their favorite traditional musicians by playfully layering samples with live instrumentation - masterfully performed with Nex Millens innovative turntable soundscapes and integrated with Dann's freshly sliced live beats on the drumset. The result is a head-nodding, danceable experience that bridges the gap between conventional music and modern instrumental hip hop/turnablism. Although a basic structure exists to Fraction Theory's music, it is through improvisation that this experienced duo tips their hats in a musical conversation with world-renowned singers, songwriters and musicians.
