about

The debut album by he didnt is an instrumental meditation on our mental health. On the dissociation that can occur when you live outside of the usual structures.

The album inhabits the ground where (anti) ambient industrial sounds meet guitars. Drones and loops minus beats. Saturated distortion in search of decompression.

"Passive Resistance" - noncompliance with the laws or directives of an authority, particularly of a government or occupying power, as a form of protest against injustice.

“Anti-Ambient Passive Resistance I and II”, "Thabbas (version 5)" and "Marcus Aurelius" were recorded in the studio then re-worked by he didnt.
"Lo-Robot" and "Filter" are the original studio versions.
"Intro" and "First Notice Dissociation" were recorded at home by he didnt.

All sounds are made by guitar/fx pedals/bass.

It is recommended to listen to this album when travelling, especially when on public transport or traversing a City.

"Wordless music, in particular that which embraces repetition and texture, and especially combined with a lack of beats to grab on to,
runs the risk of creating tedium. As with visual art, it takes skill for an artist to move away from figurative realism without losing emotional
effect or, more simply, ways to maintain interest. he didnt has created an album that both demands and rewards deep listening; one designed to please the ears of anybody who has spent time exploring the outer reaches of guitar-based music." Nightshift Magazine

"It takes bravery & conviction to make this kind of music - the kind that is easy for the uninitiated to criticize.. he didnt balances the extremes of his playing with moments of restrained musicality hiding underneath the blanket of noise.." No Transmission Blog

"he didnt is a virtuoso whose music delicately insinuates itself into the minds of the audience.. it highlights musical influences very little explored by most music lovers.." Iggy Magazine
