CEM RESIDENCY

 

THISQUIETARMY Creator in residency Residency Project Eric Quach, alias Thisquietarmy, will offer his sonic signature based on so-called "drone" textured guitar pads in collaboration with a silent army, made up of musicians from the CEM. The complicity of these will not only give a human side to his electronic experiments, but also enhance its intensity and complexity to create new material, which will stand out from his solo work. Additionally, a unique visual concept will be developed alongside the music to complete the immersive, mesmerizing and cinematic universe of Thisquietarmy.
