Title Note

Including some of his most renowned themes, CINEMAGE is a collection of works primarily composed to accompany visual events established on film. Known for his syncretist stylings, particularly of East meets West, Sakamoto offers a unique, unabashed glimpse into his melodic universe, remaining one of the few film composers not submerged in the musical polyglot of the Hollywood scene.

Recorded live on tour in 1997, CINEMAGE boasts a convincing performance by the Orchestra. Conducted by Sakamoto, with Yutaka Sado, the recording is glistening with the imaginative elements of the music's inception intact. The graceful 'Little Buddha' and 'The Last Emperor' both evoke a sense of Romanticism in which tragedy is the epicenter. 'Replica' glimpses into the more playful, jazz-like harmonies of Sakamoto's compositional style, as well as the ferocious 1992 Olympiad theme 'El Mar Mediterrani' which is episodic in nature, and full of thrashing energy. The centerpiece of the album lies in 'Forbidden Colours' the heart rendering theme of Nagisa Oshima's emotional 1983 film "MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE." Along with guest musicians David Torn, DJ Spooky, and David Sylvian, Ryuichi Sakamoto proves that his music has the tenacity to reach farther than the silver screen, and onto the concert stage.
