Thisquietarmy - Langue Hybride [CD]

Written and arranged in less than a month during thisquietarmy's music residency at Centre d'Ex perimentation Musical (CEM) in the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec. "The goal of the residency was to perform one hour of music ready to be played live, recorded and filmed in front of an audience, which meant I had to write new music from scratch from the first day there, with people I've never met nor played with before." - explains Eric Quach talking about the nature of the writing pro cess. " I've been working with assigned local session musicians contracted from the music centre, where I did my residency. It turned out to be a mix of classical musicians who were used to playing strictly sheet music and jazz/funk/rock musicians who were really into the "jamming" spirit. We had to find ways to push everyone out of their comfort zone in order to bridge the open improvisation of jazz with the austere classical, including my own! Working with several people all at once while trying to compose the music, sorting through the improvised ideas and blending everything together was incredibly over whelming and intense. I had to do a lot work outside these jam sessions, listening to recordings and creating diagrams for structures and to explicitly express what mood, motifs, emotions I wanted out of all the different parts. So "Langue Hybride" also extends to musical and sonic languages." As a nod to the hybrid of languages Quach grew up with in Quebec, the title also aptly refers to the hybrid of musical languages encountered during this residency involving musicians from different back grounds such as jazz, metal and classical, blending seamlessly with Quach's self-taught sonic experimentations and improvised style. The resulting album reflects the exploration of a wide range of genres, skillfully blended with his post-drone vision as a rich, ambitious, elaborate body of work.
