Quercy's art pays tribute to the transformative power of these influential movements, inviting viewers to experience the dynamic interplay of form, color, and emotion. As an instrumentalist on the piano, he contributes to the artistic connection of “ephemera arts.”
Frank von Häfen

Playing the flute, EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument), and laser harp, he crafts immersive live experiences that blend seamlessly with visual art, taking audiences on a captivating journey through sound and emotion. The compositions and arrangements breathe life into the collective works, whether through intrinsic pieces or improvisations.
