Disquiet Junto Project 0703: That’s How You Got Killed Before

This one’s been sitting on my hard drive for 16 months. It came from a session with my friend and collaborator Bobby Rangell — we had recorded some flutes for a job, then took advantage of being in the studio to jam a bit: bass and flute, sometimes with a drum machine click.
It was a super productive day. I later revisited and shared many of those flute-based tracks… but this one?
Like the others, it was just two tracks: mono flute and stereo bass, with a 2-bar drum machine loop. But I made a patching mistake that day — the bass came out super thin and low, and mixed weirdly with Bobby’s long reverb. So I just… deleted my bass track. Why? No idea.
Months later, I went back to it — and found only Bobby’s flute and a 3-note Roland 707 kick pattern. No idea what I originally played. Worse: Bobby’s blowing was super abstract. I couldn’t even figure out the key. Still can’t.
Then I got Marc’s email this morning and thought, why not try something different?
Instead of trying to remember what we did, I improvised on top of Bobby and the 707 kick playing electric bass, just following my own ideas and added some drum loops that weren’t there when we played, then I played a Fender Rhodes and some synth textures following my new bass, trying to structure what was probably and abstract free impro.
instead of trying to figure out what key were we playing in (I recall in all our impros we just kept one steady key) I introduced chord changes, played around with modulations, and laid down harmonies that don’t necessarily match what Bobby was playing. So now you hear his flute moving freely over harmonies that were never there in the original — sometimes clashing, sometimes strangely aligning. I liked the tension it created.
I spent a full day in the studio doing this. Honestly, I don’t think it’s done, but I’m leaving it here for now.
Side note: if anyone asks “what’s the point of the Junto challenges?” — this is it.
Sure, I could have called Bobby back and spent the same 8 hours creating something much more polished and coherent from scratch. But we never would have ended up with something like this. And without this challenge, I never would’ve bothered digging into a broken, abandoned track like this.

That Once Was

Music for installation art "Float to the moon"
月みちて　吾昇りては　顧みて　土に蒔きしは　如何なる種ぞ

Viola da gamba,Shrutibox,Voice

月盈（tukimichite)

A silent weight floats over invisible horizons, where echoes dissolve in the breath of extinguished lanterns. Each sound lingers like the memory of forgotten skies, breaking fragments of light among the ruins of silence. Time bends into fragile reflections, and in the stillness, a hidden current draws everything toward an infinite horizon.

"kq" on the mountain

Nobuto Suda creates ambient works by combining processed guitar and piano sounds with environmental and everyday noises, aiming to leave traces of landscapes and emotions through minimal textures. His work often centers on subtle moments and atmospheres found in ordinary life, treating sound as a quiet form of observation.
He has previously released music on labels such as Somehow Recordings, Organic Industries, Rural Colours, taâlem, and Stereoscenic. In recent years, he has focused on self-releasing his work via Bandcamp and SoundCloud.

You are welcome to use my music for small-scale projects such as films, dance, or events free of charge. If you do, I’d love to hear about it.
