{"product_id":"sakamoto-ryuichi-alva-noto-12-conversations","title":"Sakamoto, Ryuichi \u0026 Alva Noto - 12 Conversations","description":"A brilliantly sustained dialogue between piano and electronics, Sakamoto's warmth and melodic finesse meeting Nicolai's abstract electronic formalism to invoke a mesmeric quietude as deeply satisfying in its melodic resolutions as in the merger of its filmic romanticism and meditative subtlety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003e12 Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e brings together musical exchanges recorded in November and December 2022. Rooted in the same creative period that gave rise to Sakamoto's final solo album 12, these recordings were not originally intended as a standalone release. It was only after the completion of 12 that Sakamoto and Nicolai decided to present these exchanges as a work in their own right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe album reflects the vitality and curiosity that defined more than two decades of shared inspiration: fluid, exploratory, and forward-looking. Created with openness and trust, it captures a creative process in constant transformation - sounds expanding, altering, and evolving through attentive listening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nConceived as the continuation of an artistic dialogue extending beyond the physical, \u003ci\u003e12 Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e honours Sakamoto's wish that these encounters should exist beyond the archive, offering an enduring testament to one of contemporary music's most revered collaborations.","brand":"Noton","offers":[{"title":"Black 2LP","offer_id":51591059800342,"sku":"RMX-71497","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51591060095254,"sku":"RMX-71498","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a5e124225e5ef6204179129_925631c6-4fa7-4317-b3a3-5f0d35cbfca9.jpg?v=1784555358","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/sakamoto-ryuichi-alva-noto-12-conversations","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
