Ryuichi Sakamoto Album Review: 12
Album art by Lee Ufan
(Milan)
BY JORDAN MAINZER
After async, legendary Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto spent time doing film soundtracks and commissions and, unfortunately, receiving treatment for a recurrence of cancer. (He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015, rectal cancer in 2021.) His remarkable new album 12, then, is the ultimate freedom of expression. Written not for another medium but entirely for himself, the dozen compositions were recorded in Tokyo while he was recovering from treatment. They’re dated and presented largely in chronological order, understated, diaristic synth sketches that proved to be as healing for Sakamoto as they are moving for us to listen to. Really, these songs are like a diary: Some are months apart, the first time Sakamoto revisited his piano and synthesizer in a long while, and others were put to tape on consecutive days. You don’t so much wonder where Sakamoto was in his recovery process or mental state of mind when making the songs; rather, you, like Sakamoto, appreciate the mix between referential sounds and abstract textures, between the tactile nature of the piano keys and the otherworldly hum of the synths. 12 envelops all.
The first half of 12 is generally longer-form pieces, the latter half closer to vignettes. Either way, it’s clear that Sakamoto is living in the moment, almost letting his instruments lead his hands and mind. The gradually rising, stubbly synths of “20210310″ go high and low, delving at times into complete quiet, whereas the palpable echo of the piano on “20211130″ makes the music comparatively tangible. Sure, you’re reminded of the human being behind the instruments and compositions on “20211201″, where you can hear Sakamoto’s breaths, the ultimate differentiator between life and death. But then it’s the synthesizers that take on an almost vocal-like character on the dark “20220214″; it reminds me of Johann Johannsson’s Drone Mass, swelling orchestrally when contrasted with light ripples of sound.
Intentionally or not, a few of the tracks on 12 are simply haunting, especially in the context of Sakamoto’s health. The layered slabs of synth on “2022020″ are borderline metallic and dystopian. On “20220207″, Sakomoto plays a repeated piano line with one hand, flourishes with the other, recalling his film scores, but the electroacoustic nature of the synths present it from being cinematic, the emanating sounds more like the inside of a hospital than anything else. Most emotive is “20220123″, which contrasts sprinkles of piano with decaying synthesizers, a too-perfect metaphor for the coming and going of energy we all feel, but especially those who are sick or dying. If it felt like albums like Blackstar or You Want It Darker were known final statements from some of the greatest artists of our time, 12 is even more prescient. That is, it’s the sound of a man who simply knows that he’s going to die, maybe someday soon, maybe not, but that it’s nonetheless important to document his creative prowess while he still can.

RYUICHI SAKAMOTO
12
Milan Records publica hoy 12, el nuevo álbum del prolífico compositor, productor y artista RYUICHI SAKAMOTO. Ya disponible en todo el mundo, 12 es el 15ºálbum de estudio de Sakamoto como artista solista y el primero de nuevo material en solitario desde que publicara async en 2017.
Consigue 12 AQUÍ
Mira el vídeo de acompañamiento AQUÍ
El álbum contiene 12 temas seleccionados de una colección de bocetos musicales que Sakamoto grabó como un diario sonoro entre 2021 y 2022 durante su lucha contra el cáncer. Cada pista está titulada y secuenciada según la fecha en que fue escrita, dando lugar a una colección musical que ofrece una instantánea íntima de este periodo de la vida de Sakamoto. Junto con el lanzamiento de hoy se publica un acompañamiento visual especial de 12 que incluye el tema que cierra el álbum, "20220304", e imágenes del compositor en Tokio - míralo aquí.
Sobre el álbum, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO dice: "A principios de marzo de 2021, por fin 'volví a casa', a mi nuevo alojamiento temporal tras una operación importante y una larga estancia en el hospital. Hacia finales de marzo, justo cuando mi cuerpo empezaba a notarse un poco más ligero, me vi echando mano del sintetizador. No tenía intención de componer nada; simplemente quería que me bañara el sonido. Tenía la sensación de que tendría un pequeño efecto curativo en mi cuerpo y mi alma, tan dañados. Hasta entonces, apenas tenía energía para escuchar música, y mucho menos para tocar. Pero después de aquel día, empecé a tocar de vez en cuando las teclas del sintetizador y del piano, y empecé a grabar pequeños bocetos de sonidos como si escribiera un diario. He intentado elegir 12 de mis bocetos favoritos para este álbum. No hay adornos: los pongo tal cual de forma intencionada. A partir de ahora, hasta que mi cuerpo se rinda, probablemente seguiré llevando este tipo de "diario"".
Como adelanto al lanzamiento del álbum, Sakamoto estrenó hace poco un concierto especial de piano solista que se retransmitió por Internet a una audiencia de más de 60.000 espectadores de todo el mundo. El concierto, su primera actuación en directo en dos años, se grabó a lo largo de una semana en el legendario estudio 509 de Tokio y presenta al compositor durante una hora tocando nuevos arreglos tanto de su repertorio como de su nuevo álbum. Ya está disponible la grabación de Ryuichi de su clásico de 1983 "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” de la actuación en directo – míralo aquí.
