In-Formation :
Fractales12 or FractalesXII began in the first place to be Romain Gros' "ALTernativ-Avatorium-Pleasure" in the period of 2ΘΘ3(Gregorian calendar)
Romain composes/plays/mixes/combines different styles and instruments in his own studio (based in Enschede, The Netherlands):
Acoustic/Electric Guitars, Bass, Electric Saz, Hammond, Synthesizers,
different types of percussion like:
Udu, Bells, Asiatic Cymbals, Djumbe,
adding Electronic devices such as Vacuum cleaners, Washing machines and other objects which make sound.
Influenced at the first place by life and travels, Romain is also influenced by Roman/Greek and Nordic Mythologies,
Eastern and Western Philosophies and others books avoided by the mass in general.
Fractales12' poems are mostly in English however sometimes Romain combines rhymes with Finnish, Hebrew, German, old greek, Latin and rarely French
or Dutch words.
Under-stand | Stand-Under ?
Fractales12' rhymes are focused on the "Unconscious - Meaning" rather than "What it seems" cause his creator doesn't believe in words by themselves but in structures and mechanisms ...As Poems should be, Romain Gros' verbal compositions have some "hidden codes" through the phonetic/writing abstraction complexity.
Those "hidden codes" make Fractales12' poems unique by definition and the interpretation for the one who wants to swim in Fractles12' Dimension will mostly sink in the misinterpretation if he or she doesn't have the 'Explicative map of experiences and knowledges'.
You will discover also through rXg' lyrics other semantic words based on:
Science; Space, Black Holes, Galaxies, Planets, Spirals, Spaceships, Sparks, Meteors, Suns, Moons, Sociology, Democracy, Demography, Neurology, Brain, Cortex, Numbers, Schools, Education, Teachers, Father(s), Mother(s), Maieutics, Inside / Outside, Outsidein / Insideout, Theories, Mirrors, Society, Economy (Money), Animals; Wolfs, Dogs, Cats, Fish. Queens & Kings, Eyes, War(s), Gravity, Love-Missing, the Weather and Seasons ... etc ...
Invisible and untouchable worlds like "death" thus Spirituality, Daimon, Time, Religions, Ghosts, Creature(s), and other cults or mystics like : Cthulhu, Shamanism, Smells and Perfumes ... etc ...
Sometimes the length of the song(s) by itself gives a number which has meanings but those are too complex to be explained by words ...
Outside the music world Romain likes to draw mostly with charcoal and likes to take pictures of lights in movement called "Abstract pictures"...
He also writes Novels by hand but they are not published to the "common of mortals" yet.
The entire Artwork of Romain Gros through Fractales12 is dedicated to honor the lovely people who disappeared from (t)his life but still present in his soul (mainly through dreams) ...
N.B: According to Wikipedia sources :
In English "Fractal(s)" [or "Fractale(s)" as 'B.Mandelbrot' wrote them] is a term derived from the Latin "fractus" meaning "broken" or "fractured".
A Mathematical Fractal is based on an equation that undergoes Interaction, a form of feed-back based on recursion.
A fractal often has the following features:
- It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales.
- It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional, Euclidean Geometric language.
- It is self similar (at least approximately or stochastically)
