Mixed By – Francisco Farris                                                                                                                               There is a reason why this tribute album to the revered Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto is so titled. In 2014, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, which went into remission after six years. In 2021, however, he shared the news of his stage 4 rectal cancer diagnosis.
Earlier this year, in an essay that broached the issue, he wrote, “Since I have been granted life, I am praying that I will be able to make music until my last moments, just like my beloved Bach and Debussy. I have just turned 70, but how many more times will I be able to see the full moon?”
Sakamoto significantly influenced electro and techno – via much of his early work with Yellow Magic Orchestra, and his 1980 second solo album, B-2 Unit, notably with the track Riot in Lagos – but also film soundtrack music via Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983), The Last Emperor (1987), The Sheltering Sky (1990) and more recently The Revenant (2015).
All of his creative dimensions are addressed on this tribute album for which the artists, who include friends and past collaborators such as David Sylvian, Thundercat, Cinematic Orchestra, Devonté Hynes, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Alva Noto, were allowed full access to his far-reaching catalogue of solo work and film scores. Some 13 pieces of music, ranging from his best-known to more obscure works – at least to casual admirers – have in the parlance of the production been “remodelled” to varying degrees of familiarity.
