QUINQUIS

**QUINQUIS** is the experimental electronic project of Breton artist Émilie Tïes, who weaves haunting soundscapes rooted in the landscapes and mythology of her native Brittany, France. Her music blends glitchy beats, ethereal vocals, and field recordings with subtle nods to traditional Breton folk, creating a vibe that feels both ancient and futuristic. Tïes often collaborates with boundary-pushing artists like producer Gareth Jones (known for work with Depeche Mode) and South African experimentalist Desire Marea, adding gritty textures and cross-continental resonance to her work. Her tracks, sprinkled with Breton-language titles like *"Morwreg"* (meaning "sea woman" or "mermaid"), reflect her fascination with regional folklore and environmental themes. Released via revered indie label InFiné, her work feels like a cyber-pagan ritual—equal parts mystical and mechanical.
