 Philip Tagg | Harmony - EPMOW entry (2000)
Quartal harmony is so called because it is based on the fourth and on its octave complement, the fifth.
Quartal harmony in pop is in fact most often found together with tunes in the dorian, aeolian or minor pentatonic mode, for example in many a track by Steeleye Span or the Albion Country Band.
Quartal key changes occur in examples 22 (from C#4-5-$7 to E4-5-$7), 23 (from Dm11 to E$m11) and 24 (a riff whose two poles are [i] Dm11 and A4-5-$7 and [ii] Cm11, E$11, G$/f).

 Playing in ALL FOURTHS - guitar guitar guitar guitar guitar guitar
QUARTAL harmony is based on chords made up of fourths (and their extensions and inversions) constructed from the same diatonic scales.
(Quartal organization is very suited conceptually for a guitar, particularly a guitar tuned to all fourths, or all fifths now possible with Midi guitars.) Quartal tonality is generally centered on the lowest or highest chord tone (unlike Tertial chords which often have their roots in an inner voice).
In Quartal notation, preceding the Q symbol the scale mode from which the chord derives is written, for example: QG5Hm This is Quartal whose lowest tone is G and whose upper tones are a series of fourths derived from the 5th mode of the Harmonic minor scale.

 Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Quartal Voicings
To construct a quartal voicing, simply take any note in the scale associated with the chord, and add the note a fourth above, and a fourth above that.
For instance, quartal voicings for Cm7 are "C F Bb", "D G C", "Eb A D" (note the augmented fourth), "F Bb Eb", "G C F", "A D G", and "Bb Eb A".
As with the 3/7 voicings, these voicings are convenient left hand voicings on the piano or three or four string voicings on the guitar.

 Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Quartal Voicings
This type of voicing seems to work especially well for minor chords (dorian mode), or dominant chords where a suspended or pentatonic sound is being used.
These voicings are even more ambiguous, in that a given three note quartal voicing can sound like a voicing for any number of different chords.
However, if you wish to reinforce the particular chord/scale you are playing, one way to do this is to move the voicing around the scale in parallel motion.
