Thierry Amar

A Montreal-based musician, producer, and engineer, Thierry Amar is a pivotal figure in the city’s post-rock and experimental music scenes. His foundational work on both electric and double bass for Godspeed You! Black Emperor, which he joined around 1997, and as a co-founder of A Silver Mt. Zion and Black Ox Orkestar, shaped the sonics of those influential groups. [1, 3, 4] Amar’s approach provides a textural and melodic anchor, merging drone with folk and avant-garde sensibilities. As a co-owner and engineer at the Hotel2Tango studio, he has further defined the sound of Montreal's independent music community through his production work. [1, 10, 14]
