Ryuichi Sakamoto & Taylor Deupree, performing at St John’s in London, March 2014.
In celebration of his comprehensive achievements and legacy, we’re re-broadcasting Sakamoto’s incredible performance alongside Taylor Deupree.
A composer, record producer and actor, Sakamoto’s eclectic career saw him win an an Oscar, a Grammy, a BAFTA and two Golden Globe Awards. We also had the honour of having Sakamoto as a founding curator of Boiler Room's 4:3 platform.
If you want to discover more, we would recommend watching Tokyo Melody: a beautiful documentary directed by French photographer Elizabeth Lennard, which features Sakamoto during the recording sessions of his 1984 album “Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia”.
