@synth_history: Ryuichi Sakamoto helped shape the world of music as we know it. It’s hard to describe or put into words all the ways in which he has impacted music in just a few paragraphs. His management team shared one of his favorite quotes after his passing: ‘Ars longa, vita brevis.’ Art is long, life is short. As a composer, record producer, and member of Yellow Magic Orchestra, he would pioneer the use of synthesizers and influence countless musicians and genres including electronic, synth pop, hip hop, techno and more. As a film-score composer, he would win an Oscar, a BAFTA, a Grammy, and 2 Golden Globe Awards. Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence in 1983, marked his debut as both an actor and a film-score composer (composition featured above). His collaborations were many and include artists like David Sylvian, David Byrne, Thomas Dolby, Nam June Paik, Robert Wyatt, Brian Wilson, Robbie Robertson, Iggy Pop and more. His passing comes shortly after fellow YMO-band member, Yukihiro Takahashi. Excerpts above from Tokyo Melody, and documentary directed by French photographer Elizabeth Lennard during the recording sessions of Ryuichi’s 1984 album, Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia. I recommend watching this and Stephen Nomura Schible’s recent documentary, Coda, today.

I watched The Last Emperor with no prior knowledge of this man’s music. When Rain came on I was blown away. RIP to this incredible artist🙏🏽

Me ayudó en mis días mas oscuros, donde no tenía nada más que mi imaginación. Recuerdo escuchar siempre una playlist de Sakamoto mientras leía, solo.

Groups such as Capsule, Perfume and other modern tecnopops owes him because without him and YMO, there will be no technopop
