Homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto
Helena Basilova, piano - Stadsschouwburg De Vereeniging, Kleine Zaal
Program Info: Pianist Helena Basilova recorded a beautiful album in Nils Frahm's studio with works by the groundbreaking (film) composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, known for the soundtrack for The Last Emperor. Sakamoto passed away last year. Basilova's album is a tribute to his musical legacy. A must for fans of ambient and minimal music!
The discovery of Sakamoto's music was a great inspiration for Helena to reimagine the possibilities of piano sounds. It opened doors to experiment with electronic music and pushed boundaries to write music and work on large-scale audio-visual productions. Carefully selected from Helena's favourite Sakamoto albums: Async, Out of noise, 12, Insen and Playing the Piano, she brings a new anthology with a fresh sound. Played in her own way, timing and with alternative electronic soundscapes.
Ryuichi Sakamoto Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952-2023), composer, musician and producer, broke the boundaries between different musical genres. Influenced by Bach, Debussy but also by John Cage, Boulez and Ligeti, he can be seen as an impressionist of the modern era.
