RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto
This album changed the DNA of music for me forever

I never got to experience Sakamoto perform live, but I did visit some of his installations & exhibitions.
The first was LIFE in collaboration with Shiro Takitani, at the ICC Gallery in maybe 2007
Documented here: Life – an installation by Ruichi Sakamoto & Shiro Takatani

And this brillaint exhibition that he curated in 2012: Search for New Synaesthesia

“Art and music are considered different genres. However, surely there is art that is created through sound, just as there is music that is created visually. Also there are forms of expression that cannot be described as being either art or music and those that can be described as being both. By exploring the synesthesia of art and music, or the boundary between the two, we may be able to catch a glimpse of not only the origin of mankind’s artistic expression, but also its future. That is what I hope to achieve through this exhibition.”
