Fractal have put on a number of music concert events that included a visual element, some of these have been in a music performance setting, where visual artists worked on creating visuals for existing music compositions (or did both for the case of a music composer creating their own visuals).
Their first concert was for the Dublin Culture Night in 2012, this concert also toured Dublin, Mayo and Cork.
