Quintelium is the electronic/ambient project of Michael McWay, hailing from the Central Valley of California. So far his work ranges from the drone/ambient from his debut Memory Horizon (2022, on Kaiseiki Digital) to the more rhythmic Berlin School-inspired Kosmische of Moon Waves (2023, on Ephem-Aural).

His newest, Dream And Reality, out on Somewherecold Records, expands and deepens the drone excursions of his debut and explores the spiritual terrain of new age and the sound of Stars of the Lid. Dream and Reality uses the minimal aesthetics of drone and ambience to evoke a flowing, ever-changing reality, the one that we find ourselves in in every instant.
