Ryuichi Sakamoto, 12

"async - immersion 2023" is a sound installation that appeals to the eyes, ears, and nose. The sound of the album ``async'' released in 2017 by the late Professor Ryuichi Sakamoto will be experienced in a special multi-channel sound environment, and will be shown along with visuals and art by Shiro Takatani.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's death in March, 2023 at age 71, left a gaping hole for anyone touched by his legendary compositions—a long list of people. Sakamoto initially rose to fame as a member of the much loved and pioneering Yellow Magic Orchestra, influencing virtually all genres with an electronic element, from synth pop to house to hip-hop and beyond. After YMO's hiatus in 1984, Sakamoto's focus shifted to his solo career and composing scores. He created a string of film scores for renowned directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Brian DePalma, Takashi Miike, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and others, all while composing music for video games, working on collaborative albums, and even writing a song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
