Fringe Element

Fringe Element is a quartet of electronic musicians that have been playing together since January of 2003. Their goal is to explore the use of electronics to create organic, expressive music. All of their music is created in the moment, combining experimental and conventional structures. The spontaneous and interactive nature of their collaboration creates a style that is uniquely vibrant, diverse, and evolving.

The members of Fringe Element are Michael Victor, Greg Waltzer, Jose Murcia and James Lacey. In various combinations they have performed in the Philadelphia and New Jersey area, as well as other locations around the U.S. Their two CDs, Rampant Biology and Organic Chemistry are available at electro-music.com.

GREG WALTZER participates in a number of musical projects in and around Philadelphia and southern New Jersey: Mutation Vector, Xeroid Entity, Holosphere, and Fringe Element. These groups team Greg with area musicians James Lacey, Bill Fox, Howard Moscovitz, Jose (JEM) Murcia, and Michael Victor. He has most recently appeared on Xeroid Entity’s CD “Live at the Deer Head Inn”. Learn more at gregwaltzer.com/egw/music.htm. Greg plans to spend the entire program hunched carefully over his keyboards, turning knobs and making evil noises. He has a homemade device that looks like a steel shoebox with bad acne sitting atop his keyboard rig; if he reaches for it, the audience are advised to take a hint from the other players on stage and grab hold of anything that won’t move when the blast wave hits.
