thisquietarmy

thisquietarmy is a solitary one-man experimental drone-based music project from Montreal, Canada. Active since 2005, he constantly furthers the boundaries of his sonic guitar experimentation to create an impressively wide range of dynamic soundscapes by combining textural & structural elements of ambient/electronic, drone/noise, shoegaze/industrial, post-punk/krautrock, black/doom metal. His live performances, often presented as an improvised real-time score to his own hypnotic ethereal visuals, can be as heavy and face melting as quiet and introspective.   thisquietarmy's discography comprises of over 40 releases on 25+ different labels worldwide, including full-length albums on esteemed labels such as Denovali Records, Aurora Borealis, Consouling Sounds, Shelter Press, three:four Records & Alien8 Recordings. thisquietarmy has also recorded collaborations with Aidan Baker (Nadja), Scott Cortez (loveliescrushing), André Foisy (Locrian), Labirinto, Monarch, Noveller, Syndrome (Amenra), Year Of No Light & Yellow6, and is involved in other bands such as Hypnodrone Ensemble, Destroyalldreamers & Parallel Lines.    With such a prolific body of work and 500 live performances in 35+ countries in North/South America, Europe & Asia, including appearances at esteemed festivals such as Red Bull Music Academy's Drone Activity in Progress (Canada), Biennale Nemo (France), Incubate Festival (Netherlands), Le Guess Who (Netherlands), Dunk!
