Coaster (2004 - subVariant Recordings) CD
Coaster’s sweet melodies swirl over quirky-yet-alluring percussion crafted from mangled bits of environmental noise, lovingly coaxed into structures appropriate for chill sets and dancefloor transitions.

“Braking (Hushed)” (1) opens the album on a strong note with a pounding kick, persistant bassline, and an obliterated vocal sample combining to form a hiphop-like base for the uplifting, hopeful melody that soon steps in to take center stage. “It’s Fizzbang,” (2) creates a hand-drum percussive pattern out of tapping and scraping a vintage acoustic-electric guitar. The third track, “Late Blazing Kinch Theme” takes a catchy synthesized-harp melody, loops it, and adds harmonies and quivering percussive elements to create a sonically-intriguing supportive texture for the subsequent harmonic exploration within the track.
The title “Coaster” refers to the tongue-in-cheek packaging concept behind the album: the disc can serve as a beverage coaster when not needed as a music CD. The case itself is designed to mimic the packaging of a stylish electronic accessory–such as a mobile phone–complete with a cover photo of the Coaster in its (optional, not included — see SUBV001c) carrying case and a concise “instruction booklet” outlining the process for using the disc as a beverage coaster. The disc itself is silver and black, with a guide for correct beverage placement.
Coaster EP (2003) CDR
CDR EP with seven tracks packaged in a case with a wriststrap. Very limited quantities were made (under 50) and they are hard to find.
A Cold (2003)
A 3-track, downtempo EP featuring a 3″ CDR that comes in a petri dish. Add this to your collection and you can legitimately say, “I got a cold from Quantazelle.”

A self-proclaimed “multi-hyphenate,” Liz McLean Knight–the sole woman behind Quantazelle–is thoroughly immersed in technology, fashion, music, and the often-surprising overlaps between. When attempting to circuit bend battery-powered music toys for an upcoming music performance, she discovered that electronic components can be turned into elegant jewelry and started an entire tech-fashion line called
