Thisquietarmy

[a=Thisquietarmy] is a one-man solo drone/ambient project by [a=Eric Quach] (also of [a=Destroyalldreamers], [a=Mains de Givre] & [a=Ghidrah (2)]) from Montreal, Quebec, Canada - active since 2005. [b]Please do not add other members to the project. Quach works with collaborators but TQA stays his solo project.[/b] Quach composes visual guitar-based soundscapes and experimental music that goes beyond the typical song structure. By exploring his guitar as a tone generator, he furthers the boundaries of his instrument with the use of multiple effect processors & real-time loop-samplers, alternating the guitar signal’s shape and tone, blending textures over textures, merging a wide combination of sounds together and developing the melodies hidden in these walls of sound. Concrete musical ideas are often generated by the re-interpretation, the decomposition and the reconstruction of its own improvisations.
