QUINQUIS – Morwreg

In “Morwreg”, QUINQUIS weaves ancestral whispers into electronic textures, crafting a sonic tapestry where ancient Breton folklore dissolves into contemporary expression. Through this lens, Émilie Quinquis transforms the mythological into the deeply personal, using her island home of Ushant as both setting and character in an eternal narrative of love and loss.

The composition emerges from the spaces between presence and absence – those interim moments where sailors briefly touched shore before dissolving back into maritime mists. Here, the mermaid’s voice becomes more than metaphor; it’s a vessel for generations of island women whose stories ripple through time like waves against Ushant’s shores.

By channeling the voice of a cursed mermaid who sacrificed sisterhood for human love, QUINQUIS explores the price of choosing between worlds. Each electronic pulse carries echoes of eleven abandoned sisters, their collective grief transformed into a siren song that both warns and beckons. The track exists in that liminal space where legend bleeds into lived experience, where every island woman might carry mermaid blood in her veins.

This first glimpse since “SEIM” suggests an artist diving deeper into cultural memory, where traditional narratives become prisms for examining contemporary connections. Through Breton language and electronic articulation, QUINQUIS creates something that feels both ancestral and immediate – a love song that spans centuries of longing.
