Sakamoto - Music & Talk Spacial w/ Christoph Dallach & Gereon Klug this thursday. Come and immerse yourself in the musical life of one of the most influential artists of the twenty-first century. Ryūichi Sakamoto was a trained jazz pianist who, along with Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, formed the influential Japanese electropop band Yellow Magic Orchestra in the late 1970s. Their sound influenced numerous artists and grounded the path for music that we now call hip-hop, house, electro and J-pop in the 80's. Sakamoto was seen as a shifter between worlds and created music that today is still influential in genres such as electronic music and hip-hop in history. Besides the music, Christoph will tell us some anecdotes from Sakamoto's life. Gereon will go a bit further in the course of the evening and take us on a musical journey inspired by Sakamoto.
