Quargs initialized their sound wave organization journey as classically-trained violist and composer, initially within a one-room performing arts schoolhouse sporting an orchestral strings program. Eventually, the performer composer broadened their musical horizons and co-founded the grunge rock-inspired band Love Ghost, serving as the band’s violist, keyboardist, and co-writer from 2015-2019 during the band’s release of the album Lobotomy, receipt of the Hollywood Music in Media Award, and travels throughout Japan, Ireland, and Ecuador, while attending USC Thornton’s school of music.

In addition to their symbiosis with Love Ghost’s palette of Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, and Alice In Chains, their influences range from the discordant melodies and sonic configurations of Dmitri Shostakovich, Sergei Prokofiev, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and John Cage, to the cerebral and introspective synth textures of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Laurie Anderson, Flying Lotus, and Squarepusher, and the genre-bending arrangements of Wendy Carlos. Additionally, they have made a foray into the world of film and television composing, writing 20 songs for Paramount’s Global Music Library, and serving as a composer on the 2026 theatrical release Clika, as well as the 2018 feature film Live.

Furthermore, Quargs has cultivated a long-standing interest in the intersection between music, technology, mathematics, and multimedia art, beginning with very early works based on concepts such as the Weierstrass function, and combinatorially-inspired musical forms, later progressing to interactive web installations including sonified data from their first solo album Non Sequitur Vol. 1, and master’s studies in computer engineering at Boston University that have involved projects such as transformer-based MIDI generation models based on the Maestro dataset, and the building (coming soon!) of the networked Algorave platform, Trussal. Most recently, the sequel to Non Sequitur Vol. 1, Non. Sequitur Vol. 2, features tracks processed by their very own original audio plugin, Eglof, which calls upon the user to create custom filters using CSV files and is implemented using the JUCE C++ wrapper library.

Quargs also infuses the above constellation of experimental influences with perspective derived from intersectional lived experience as a queer, disabled person of color growing up in the 00’s and 10’s in Los Angeles, along with a lifelong curiosity about existential and epistemic matters.
