坂本龍一さん。教授が旅立って少し経ちました。

歌舞伎町タワーに出来た映画館は教授が音響監修をしていて、そこで去年撮影されたピアノ演奏の映画がかかっています。遺作の中で遺作を見る。教授とのお別れ、お葬式に行くような気持ちで映画を見ました。

途中の東風で泣き、最後の曲が終わって教授がピアノの前から立ち上がりフレームの外へ歩いて行った時に泣きました。

DJとして数えきれないほど教授の曲をかけてきました。穏やかで美しいけど、鋭さもあって本当に見事です。これからも心を込めて曲を届けます。この曲誰ですか？って訊かれたら涙ぐんでしまうかもしれないけど、笑顔で伝えます。坂本龍一だよって。

May 2023 DJ MIX Vol.80 [R.I.P R.S MIX]

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.
