I’ve been a fan of Ryuichi Sakamoto since the 80’s. he worked with another artist whom i really like too. David Sylvian.
I discovered Alva Noto (German composer)more recently and fell in love with his music. ended up buying all his albums and EP’s.
his sound is very unique…he doesn’t use instruments, he uses sounds.
…but when the collaboration with Sakamoto happened there was a perfect match of electronic noise and bleeps combined with the organic piano music of Sakamoto. this combination really works well.

Alva Noto is really very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I so agree. I’ve been watching the YouTube interviews with him recently. Really interesting and good.
Very nice, would you reblog? Thank you.
OK
The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
Agreed
Nice. I agree. I had actually found Alva Noto because of his recordings with Blixa Bargeld of Einsturzende Neubauten fame. I’m checking out his work with Sakamoto next (another composer/musician I love).
thanks for the tip on Blixa Bargeld.
i will look up on YouTube.
P.S. I have all of Einsturzende Neubauten’s albums.
