this is not loud (you are) is a five-track instrumental EP built on the influence of bass music, leftfield and halftime. The laid-back halftime beat of "Heron", the range of grooves rising out of a single BPM on "Swarm", the jungle-rooted beat of "Flint" several approaches coexist across it, with low-end design, noise and an experimental edge running throughout. Analogue gear and modular synths are brought in at key points.

Mixed by FKD. Mastered by Beau Thomas (Ten Eight Seven Mastering, London). Artwork by Taichi Nagaoka (85mm inc.), with visual support from CCC. His first solo instrumental work since Initial Impulse (2024). A music video for opener "Dust" arrives with the EP.
