Corridor is the alias for multi-instrumentalist Michael Quinn's musical project. His self-titled debut album features eight tracks of lush, noise-drenched stories of passion, loss and coming of age in the modern world. Quinn himself, whom still in his early 20's is considered a seasoned player in the post-hardcore scenes in Boston and Seattle. Upon recently moving to LA, Corridor wasted no time getting key slots on shows with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Xu Xu Fang, Winter Flowers and Rainbow Arabia, as well as packing up the cello, guitars, samplers and keyboards in his old vw wagon and performing unforgettable live shows at dives and art galleries across the USA. Taking his influences from 70's kraut-rock, Swans, Joy Division and Django Reinhart, he makes sounds that only few can dare to categorize.

Standing apart from most one-bands with a laptop snd whatever, Corridor's live performance showcases his raw talent. The virtuostic, gypsy-esque guitar work over looping layers of atmospheres and noise, has audiences dropping jaws. A completely self-taught musician, Corridor's chops on guitar, cello, and drums would have you think he was classically trained. Riding high on a lot more than simply technical prowess, his debut album Corridor/mdcccclxxxi is a spectral, eerie journey that is at once psychedelic, haunting, and original. Completely performed by Quinn himself, the compositions throughout the album are often paradoxal: intense, serene, bleak, and often beautiful all in the same song.
