Thisquietarmy is the experimental music project of Eric Quach, a prolific Canadian guitarist based in Montreal, Quebec. Since the project's inception in 2005, Thisquietarmy has been known for crafting an immersive blend of drone, ambient, and post-rock soundscapes, characterized by loop-based structures and the extensive use of effects pedals and signal processing to manipulate the guitar's sound into dense, evolving textures.

Over the years, Thisquietarmy has built a diverse and expansive discography, with works such as "Hiatus" demonstrating the project's introspective and often solitary exploration within the drone/ambient genre. Eric Quach's ability to create vast sonic environments has been showcased across releases like "Houses of Worship" and "Kesselhaus," while albums like "Compendium: 2005-2020" offer a retrospective glance into the project's long-standing evolution. Notably, Thisquietarmy's performances are often accompanied by visual arts and multimedia presentations, adding a layer of sensory experience that further defines the project's artistic vision. With works like "The Body and the Earth" and "Democracy of Dust," Thisquietarmy continues to push the boundaries of its own sound and the wider genres of experimental and ambient music.
