THISQUIETARMY X AWAY - MACHINE CONSCIOUSNESS, PHASE III

This unexpected 3rd instalment of the duo's output is still made up from material recorded during that same 2019 session, which needed a little more work than its almost-straight-out-of-the-box double album predecessor. With additional bass and brass tracks provided by Charles Bussières and Reüel Ordoñez, members of TQA's live full-band (along with sound engineer, drummer and synth player Marc-Olivier Germain) for the “The Body and the Earth” 2018 EU tour, Quach could finally piece the remnants of the tracks together as a bold and unexpected collection of psychedelia fusion and freakout music, with elements of kosmische Musik, prog and experimental free jazz mixed into the duo's enthralling brand of space-rock improvisation.

For that reason, this new output conjured an identity of its own as “Machine Consciousness, Phase III”, both as the follow-up to THISQUIETARMY X AWAY's “The Singularity, Phase I & II” but also to the last TQA full-band opus “The Body and the Earth”.

Release Date: October 7th, 2022
Label: Consouling Sounds
Format: Vinyl (trans-violet, limited to 300 copies), CD (with exclusive booklet & bonus track), digital.
Genre: Experimental metal, ambient drone, krautrock, post-rock, improvised music

LP/CD ARTWORK + EXCLUSIVITY

Like on Phase I & II, both musicians used their visual arts skills to contribute to the artwork of the records. This time, Phase III is adorned on the outside sleeve by Quach's photography whereas Langevin presents brand new “hotel room sketches” on the inner sleeve. The CD also features a bonus track not found on the vinyl, as well as an exclusive booklet comprised of Langevin's architectural photography
