A young musician needs a powerful laptop and a good analogue synthesiser. Ryuichi Sakamoto Read Quote
You can use existing music in a film, but creating a soundtrack is very different. One note can be enough. Ryuichi Sakamoto Read Quote
Just recently, I thought about how maybe I should have kept using the synthesisers more after ‘Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence’; then, I would have been a more unique soundtrack composer than I am now. It could have been my signature. But then, probably, Bertolucci would not have offered me to compose for his films. Ryuichi Sakamoto Read Quote
All the kids at the kindergarten had to play, or at least touch, the piano. It was a good start. Then, after kindergarten, all my friends took piano lessons, so I joined them. Ryuichi Sakamoto Read Quote
The piano is the closest instrument to me in my life, so it’s just natural to play my pieces on the piano. Ryuichi Sakamoto Read Quote
