The first comprehensive exhibition in Japan to focus entirely on large-scale installation works by Ryuichi Sakamoto will open in December 2024 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. Link in bio. Saturday, December 21, 2024 – Sunday, March 30, 2025 “Throughout his diverse artistic activities, Sakamoto continuously operated at the cutting edge of his time. Since the 2000s, he has been devoting himself to the creation of sound installations presented three-dimensionally in exhibition spaces, which he developed and executed in collaboration with various artists. This exhibition looks back on Sakamoto’s pioneering, experimental creative artworks, including some of his most well-known previous pieces, a new work for this particular occasion he envisioned before his passing, and a chronicle of his artistic endeavors, dynamically constructed in spaces in and around the museum building.” #坂本龍一 #ryuichisakamoto #skmtnews

LIFE – fluid, invisible, inaudible… Ryuichi Sakamoto Shiro Takatani An installation piece made of deconstructed sounds and images used in the opera “LIFE”(1999). The opera LIFE was a requiem for the 20th century and a vision for the 21st century, made with music, words, images, and body movements on the themes of war and revolution, science and technology, and of coexistence. In the act of converting the opera into an installation format, the artists became additionally interested in exploring the boundaries between various perceptible and imperceptible things as expressed in the subtitle “fluid, invisible, inaudible.”, resulting in the work involving fog. The fragments of images and sounds are divided into 20-30 groups according to a taxonomical system used in the study of natural history. The experience created by the twelve units of sounds and images that never play in the same combination, differs from conventional and linear experiences of time. . . . 这件影音装置是对1999年首演的歌剧《生命》进行解构而成。自2007年作品问世以来，高谷史郎一直是坂本龙一的主要合作艺术家，他们在美术馆和艺术节中不断展出新的装置作品。 歌剧《生命》以战争与革命、科学与技术、共生等为主题，通过音乐、声音、语言、影像、肢体等方式谱写了一首20世纪的安魂曲，也表达了对21世纪的愿景。 歌剧的副标题为“流动、不可见、不可闻”。在将歌剧转化为装置作品的过程中，坂本龙一试图探寻可感知和无法感知之间的模糊界限，并最终决定借助雾来呈现这件作品。 原版作品受日本山口媒体艺术中心（YCAM）委托创作，由九组单位装置构成。此次专为木木美术馆中央展厅的开阔空间增加了三组，形成了包含十二组装置的富有动感的作品。 十二个水箱构成3 x 4的方格阵列悬吊在半空中，每个水箱两侧装配有音箱。图像被投射于在水箱中生成的雾气上。浓雾时可以清晰成像，而薄雾时图像则透过水槽，形成在地面上荡漾的光影。 大部分图像和声音都取自歌剧《生命》，此外艺术家们还为作品加入了新的素材。它们依照博物学分类法被划分为20-30组，并储存在硬盘当中随机播放，成为一件处于不断变化中的作品。 在这空中花园般的空间中，观众可漫步，可伫立，亦可躺在地上。十二组声音与图像的随机组合带来无限的变化，在这里观众可以感受不同于惯有线性时间的全新体验。 Installation view, LIFE – fluid, invisible, inaudible…, Ryuichi Sakamoto Shiro Takatani, ‘seeing sound, hearing time’, courtesy M WOODS HUTONG, Beijing, 2021.

async – first light Ryuichi Sakamoto Apichatpong Weerasethakul People at a film screening, the sea, the view of a country road from a car, a sleeping child, an adult, a dog… Thai filmmaker and artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul interpreted Sakamoto’s album async as a personal work and asked people close to Weerasethakul to shoot footage using his pocket-sized Digital Harinezumi camera. The images, that the camera captured, are snippets of people’s personal and everyday moments rendered in grainy, low-resolution with uniquely warm colors. Weerasethakul describes Sakamoto’s music as very “refreshing” and that it gave him the feeling of encountering the sounds of nature for the first time. He says, “It’s like when one opens his or her eyes in the morning and remembers the first light, first image that one sees. Imprinted.” photo: async – first light, courtesy @m__woods Ryuichi Sakamoto | SOUND AND TIME M WOODS Chengdu, China, August 18th, 2023 – January 5th, 2024 #skmtnews #ryuichisakamoto #坂本龍一 #坂本龙一 #Apichatpong Weerasethakul
“LIFE – fluid, invisible, inaudible…” is an artwork that deconstructed the images and sounds used in the opera “LIFE (1999).” Ryuichi Sakamoto describes “LIFE”: “… In actual fact, in the history of this planet, there were several times when the planet was close to annihilation. Just within this century, millions of lives were lost. These lives were the very fruit of four billion years of evolution on this planet. And, only one species is to blame for the current state of affairs. One species caused mass alteration and demolition of the earth’s surface, weather, ocean and other species, for the gain of its own political, social and economic activities. At this very moment, the human race is unable to list all the lives that have been lost. One has to say that something is very wrong. Thus, these questions come to my mind: Can we redeem the damage we have done? Is salvation possible? …” Ryuichi Sakamoto photo: LIFE – fluid, invisible, inaudible…，Ryuichi Sakamoto Shiro Takatani “Ryuichi Sakamoto | SOUND AND TIME,” M WOODS, Chengdu, 2023 Image courtesy of M WOODS

async – drowning Ryuichi Sakamoto Shiro Takatani async – drowning is a listening room created by Shiro Takatani for Sakamoto’s album, async. The six speakers of the 5.1 channel sound system surround the space to form a spatial soundscape, while monitors placed in front of the room generate Takatani’s images in real-time. photo: async – drowning, Ryuichi Sakamoto | SOUND AND TIME, 2023, Image courtesy of @m__woods “What I wanted to do with async was to first collect only the sounds that I wanted to hear. The production started from wanting to pick up just the sounds that objects were emitting. I listened to various sounds using a contact microphone and rubbed or tapped non-instrumental “things.” When I collected sounds this way and listened to S (Sound) and N (Noise)—which used to be acknowledged as opposites but now have become interchangeable—I realized that M (Music) was missing. A desire arose in me that I needed M in the sounds I wanted to hear. I became conscious to the fact that M was necessary in one form or another and I began to include elements of M in my composition. I want people to immerse themselves in the sounds in an environment that is the same as the one I had while listening and creating.” – Ryuichi Sakamoto (Excerpt from Bijutsu Techo, interview & text by Shigeru Matsui) #shirotakatani #ryuichisakamoto #skmtnews #asyncdrowing
async – volume Ryuichi Sakamoto zakkubalan async – volume is a video installation consisting of 24 iPhones and iPads. The 24 screens, each playing a looping video of the spaces where Sakamoto composes his music, are correlated to natural field audio captured in his New York studio and musical fragments from the async album, creating a womb-like experience. photo: async – volume, Ryuichi Sakamoto | SOUND AND TIME, 2023, Image courtesy of @m__woods “I wondered if it would be possible to create music that can have multiple “times” progressing simultaneously rather than a single linear time with a beginning and an end. An exemplary work is “Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes” (1962) by György Ligeti, which utilizes 100 metronomes. There are multiple “times” running simultaneously in this piece and has no central tempo. It’s rare to see this kind of music anywhere in the world. Even traditional folk music generally has a central tempo. Multi-temporal pieces are constructed not to have an end. They can go on continuously without beginnings or endings. The piece had to end somewhere out of convenience in order to include it in an album, though. These days, I like music in which an endless repetition doesn’t happen.” – Ryuichi Sakamoto @zakkubalan #skmtart #ryuichusakamoto #zakkubalan

“This installation depicts the various appearances of water through falling raindrops, the generation of ripples, and changes in sound. Data of the weather from certain seasons and regions in Asia was converted into droplets, sound changes, and low frequency waves, which then appear as varied ripples on the surface of the water filling the center of the space. A fundamental substance for supporting life, water possesses special properties within the natural world. This work is a visual and aural expression of water through sequence control, and a device that creates the effect of freely falling rain with large amounts of water. Water changes its state from ice, water, to water vapor depending on the temperature. We will never grow tired of observing the various natural phenomena that water produces, such as rain, clouds, fog, snow, seas, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, icebergs, glaciers, etc.. In addition, about 70% of the surface area of this planet is covered with water, 70% of our body is made of water, and it is also a source of life.” – Ryuichi Sakamoto … 「水滴の落下と波紋の生成、音の変化によって水が見せる様々な表情を描きだすインスタレーション。アジアの一定期間・地域の天候データが、水滴の落下と音の変化、低周波へと変換され、空間中央を満たす水画には様々な波紋が浮かび上がっていきます。生命を支える根源的な物質であり、この自然界においても特殊な性質を持つ水。本作では、大量の水滴を自在に落下させる装置とシーケンス制御によって、水そのものの視覚的、感覚的な表現を提示します。 水は温度によって氷、水、水蒸気と、その様態を変える。水がつくり出す雨、雲、霧、雪、海、河、湖、滝、氷山、氷河などの自然現象は、どれをとっても、いつまで眺めていても飽きることはない。また、この惑星の表面積のおよそ7割が水に覆われ、私たちの身体の7割が水でできており、生命の源でもある。」 一坂本龍一 Installation view, water state 1, 2013, Ryuichi Sakamoto Shiro Takatani, ‘seeing sound, hearing time’, courtesy M WOODS HUTONG, Beijing, 2021.
