You Call Me

I Need I Want

It’s rare anyone has anything positive to say about a levee. From Dylan to Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead to Don Mclean, levees have been places of dread and foreboding threat, coloured by drought and the devil. 

http://soundcloud.com/nobutosuda1101 's take isn’t so bleak. Inspired by some of Kyoto’s waterscapes, the gentle churn of ‘Nobody Levee’ creates an effortlessly warm tranquillity that invites swimming contemplation. 

“Kyoto has a lot of rivers and levees and the river, I think, wraps around the loneliness of people,” he explains. “I was inspired a lot by the flow of the river and wind shaking the trees that grow along it. On holidays, I go for a walk and read a book by the river. This song is the scene that flows in sound, in my head.”

Eased by a sense of movement, pushed by a ceaselessly serene force, it’s a track that instils quietude and peace. Like the water itself, it’s a track perpetually in motion, comforting in its preordained cycle and all-enveloping atmosphere. So whether you feel immersed in the wash or are happy to ponder your reflection, this lapping melody invites you to more than just dip a toe. Dive deep. Words by Reef Younis.

ASIP009 Nobuto Suda - Nobody Levee

A track that evolved from a late night jam with Martin Grafton (AKA "Arrantrax", and the other half of our "Discoteca 101" collaboration project). 
We had just finished a Discoteca 101 track, and started messing around with some sounds, Martin on his Korg Minilogue, and myself jamming with a Roland SH01A. 
Martin improvised a sequence following some notes I was playing and we just built up some more layers to build it something more structured.
Since it didn't fit the Discoteca 101 style we decided to put it out here.

“Your Name Backwards” was recorded back in 2017 with the rest of our first album but didn’t make it on. We always liked it and figured now is a good time as any to share it.”, the band say of the hazy and contemplative, guitar-led track. A dream-like recollection of lost love.

Hey @spitfire-labs, I mistakenly deleted samples from the string ensemble folder, resulting in it still opening in the labs plugin, but acting very strange. All the little sounds your hear on the track come from it. I randomly created a new spitfire labs instrument!
