Ryuichi Sakamoto - async - immersion 2023 (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

"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.

"In the wake of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s untimely death in March 2023, Shiro Takatani (member of the company Dumb Type, which has graced a number of Australian festivals) created a new version, async – immersion 2023, of his collaboration with Sakamoto. Specifically designed for the vast dark industrial basement of the Shinbun Kyoto building in this year’s Ambient Kyoto, and blending Sakamoto’s music in exquisite three-dimensional sound with Takatani’s seemingly endless sequence of images (including landscape, library, seascape, Sakamoto’s work tools and a piano wrecked by the 2011 tsunami, which reignited Sakamoto’s anti-nuclear activism) and their digital manipulation, this work exemplifies everything that a massive screen-based immersion can achieve: meditative, reflective, technically faultless. In the ninety minutes I spent there, only one image was repeated and then in different format: I could have stayed there all day."
