A cinematic portrait of global pioneer of electronic music, Oscar-winning composer and remarkable pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Global pioneer of electronic music, Oscar-winning composer and remarkable pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto released async, his latest album and first record since his 2014 diagnosis of throat cancer, early last year. The release sparked a new epoch in the 40-year career of Sakamoto, whose oeuvre ranges from surrealist pop to elegant soundtracks.
This new documentary starts with this present moment to traverse the many milestones of Sakamoto’s career in music, tracking his extraordinary creative process alongside his impact on social change.
