Fractal
The Principal Guilty Parties
James Mallonee
| Bio |
Originally from Baltimore,
MD - transpanted to California in the mid 1990's. A B.S. degree in
Astronomy has somehow led me on a career path in technical writing and
software development. I began playing bass at age 13, and haven't been
stopped since. In addition to the obvious allure of music, I have
always been fascinated with musical instruments, and their ability to
elicit emotion from the ether. Plus, I like to make noise. |

In addition to giving me
the oppurtunity to play music that I love, working in Fractal has
required a level of discipline which I needed (and still need
sometimes!). I like to think I bring a measure of personality to the
music, in addition to providing the support needed to bring Fractal
compositions into fruition. |
| Influences | My influences tend to be broadly specific (I know what I like, but not always why). Here is the short list: Yes Miles Davis Bob Dylan The Doors Genesis Iron Butterfly King Crimson Led Zeppelin Charles Mingus Pink Floyd Rush The Who |
