Ryuichi Sakamoto

A gorgeous swansong for a musician who has gifted us moment upon moment of emotional currency that doesn't just stop you in your tracks - it makes you rethink the person that you are.

an intimate collection of twelve compositions by Ryuichi Sakamoto, written and recorded in Tokyo during his fight with cancer throughout 2021-2022. Each numbered title refers to its recording date. About the album, Sakamoto says: “…after I finally ‘came home’ to my new temporary housing after a big operation, I found myself reaching for the synthesizer. I had no intention of composing something; I just wanted to be showered in sound. I’ll probably continue to keep this kind of ‘diary.’”
