TO is an instrumental progressive rock album that combines atmospheric depth with experimental energy. Drawing from influences like Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree, it weaves ambient textures and dynamic rhythms into expansive soundscapes. The album shifts between intense crescendos and introspective, drifting passages, with tracks that evoke both dramatic tension and serene moments. Praised for its atmospheric richness and unique blend of progressive rock influences, TO offers a compelling auditory experience that unfolds with each listen. While showing signs of the shortcomings of any first album, it stands as an impressive debut, showcasing the band’s potential and creative direction.

03 Relatively Massive

Single made using two tracks written for the T0 album but that were ultimately discarded for being in an incompatible tone with the rest. Indeed, this two-track release is more rooted into the stoner / garage band subgenre.

We’ve Got Plenty of Time is Quantum Cellar’s second release — a concept EP that marks a clear step forward from the eclecticism and rough edges of their debut. Rooted in post-rock while still embracing ambient and progressive elements, the EP offers a more focused and cohesive sound. Its centerpiece is an extended, dream-inspired sequence drawn from vivid, surreal experiences, lending the record an eerie, introspective undertone. With improved mixing and a clear thematic arc, this release showcases QC growing into its voice, balancing cinematic atmospheres with emotional weight.

03 Parts vi-vii-viii (We've Got Plenty Of Time, In The Final Day's Wake, Sticks And Stones)

Multi-layered improvisation session inspired by Dune and a few note successions my daughter randomly played and upon which I expanded.

Vox Arrakis

The Lost Album captures Quantum Cellar at their most forward-thinking. Intended as their third release, it saw the band return to the experimental mindset of T0, but with tighter execution and more confident production. Leaning heavily into a fusion of electronic elements, progressive rock, and metal riffing, the record subtly anticipated trends that would emerge in the following decade—most notably the rise of synthwave aesthetics. Rather than treating electronic drums as a compromise, the band embraced their creative potential for layering and tonal control. In hindsight, this was QC’s most mature and ambitious work—one that might have marked a turning point, had circumstances allowed.

03 Barely Colossal

04 Void Ark

Quantum Cellar was a Belgian instrumental progressive rock band known for blending ambient textures with dynamic rhythms. Each member brought influences from genres like industrial, post-metal, post-rock, and stoner, but a shared admiration for Porcupine Tree helped unify their sound. The result: immersive, atmospheric soundscapes with a distinctly exploratory edge.

The lineup featured Jérémy Denison (guitars, keyboard), Johan Denison (bass, guitars, keyboards), Cederik Leeuwe (drums, percussion, sampling), and Simon Tonon (guitars).
