Thisquietarmy is a one-man solo drone/ambient project by Eric Quach (also of Destroyalldreamers, Mains de Givre & Ghidrah) from Montreal, Quebec, Canada - active since 2005.
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.
