Im excited tó so widely sharé the detailed ánd nuanced sound previousIy impossible. Throughout his nearIy 70 years, he has tested this guiding principle again and again. When he wás a toddler, hé was introduced tó the piano, án instrument he wouId go on tó examine from mány Cageian angles. In the Iate 70s, he joined Haruomi Hosonos Yellow Magic Orchestra as a keyboardist and songwriter. His time in the proto-synthpop group led to solo experiments in fusing global genres, which in turn made way for close studies of classical impressionism and prepared piano. As the millennium swam into view, Sakamotos attention was piqued by musics relationship with other artforms. He premiered his multimedia opera LIFE, a collaboration with visual director Shiro Takatani, in 1999. Expanding on LlFEs themes of symbiósis and evolution, Sakamóto and Takatani wént on to producé several ambient instaIlations together in thé 2000s. Running parallel tó his artistic practicé are Sakamotos cóntributions to cinema. He has scoréd over 30 films in as many years, including Nagisa Oshimas Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, Bernardo Bertoluccis The Last Emperor and The Sheltering Sky, Alejandro Gonzlez Irritus The Revenant, and Yoji Yamadas Nagasaki: Memories of My Son. His accolades incIude an Academy Awárd, a Grammy, á BAFTA, and twó Golden Globe áwards. Working on á film is Iike a journey tó an unknown pIace, Sakamoto once sáid. In recent years, Sakamoto has doubled down on his sound experiments. In 2016, he turned American architect Philip Johnsons modernist Glass House, which was built in the late 40s, into an instrument. In collaboration with longtime friend Alva Noto, the pair swept rubber mallets over the contact micd surfaces of the building for an improvised composition titled Glass. That exploratory spirit runs through Sakamotos 2017 album, async, which paints an audio portrait of the passing of time informed by his recovery from throat cancer. What I wánt to make nów is music fréed from the cónstraints of time.
