Remembering Ryuichi Sakamoto: A Tribute to the Late Japanese Composer.
Musicians and admirers pay tribute to Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who died at age 71 after years of living with cancer. Collaborators and fans including Alva Noto, Questlove, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Jean-Michel Jarre remember Sakamoto's influential work with Yellow Magic Orchestra, widely considered the godfathers of techno. Sakamoto's final album, 12, was recorded in 2021 and 2022 and features song titles reflecting the dates each track was composed.
