Artist history On April 8, 1972 Chris Quintos was brought into this world. He has been playing keyboards/synths for more than 15 years / when he was still a teen he was introduced to the PC Demo Age or scene & began composing his own works, his alias 'K.Q.Delirium'. Around 1993 he finished his projekt called 'Ritual Zer0'. Only one song from Ritual Zer0 was submitted, which he called 'The Grinding Shame'. His songs from Ritual Zer0 had somewhat dark moods & lots of intensity. Through the years writing/creating more muzik, some of them even unfinished.. 1995 he put K.Q.Delirium at rest. Due to relocation .. He then started D.J.ing. As a few years passed he started writing again. When 1998 hit he met Jason VanHelsdingen at the club where he was D.J.ing.. They started talking about muzik: synthesizers & new technology. Jason also had a musical backround which he called 'Till Then'. They exchanged demo's... Realizing, had the same tastes in muzik. Till Then was more synthpop while K.Q.Delirium had a darker edge. At the end of 1999 they decided to merge together. Then their band 'KULTUR' was born. Binding both styles they sounded a little like early New Order & Front242. May 2000 they played live for the 1st time & had a pretty good response. September 2000, found a 3rd synth player, Anthony Urbano. Anthony has more of a ambient/newage backround that meshed very well with what KULTUR was trying to do. 2001 KULTUR is still working on new projekts.. The rest of the band members have their own solo projekts. "And KQdelirium has resurrected." He is planning to finally release 'Ritual Zer0' along with his new projekts.
