Ryuichi Sakamoto will make a rare North American solo tour in October\/November, bringing his music to audiences through sustainable and ecologically sound touring. In addition, a carbon offset will be made for all carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the tour.<br \/>The first CD, playing the piano, is a series of miniatures or \u201cself-covers,\u201d as Sakamoto refers to them \u2013 solo piano versions of his earlier works, including some of the famous film themes such as The Last Emperor (Oscar\/Grammy \u00ae \u2013winning soundtrack), Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and The Sheltering Sky (Golden Globe \u2013 best original score).<\/p>\n<p>The second CD, out of noise, is arguably Sakamoto\u2019s most ambitious to date in which he continues to explore the netherworld between music and noise that has fascinated him for years. He is joined here by, among others, Austrian guitarist\/laptop artist Christian Fennesz, guitarist Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada), England\u2019s renowned early music group Fretwork, and Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Skuli Sverrisson. <\/p>\n<p>Sakamoto has devoted much of his time in recent years to environmental concerns \u2013 to turning Ego into Eco as he puts it. Beginning in 2001, he has made a huge attempt to use alternative energy for touring.<\/p>\n<p>NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES<br \/>DATE CITY VENUE SHOWTIME TICKET PRICE<br \/>Sun-Oct-17-10 Glenside, PA Keswick Theatre 8:00 PM $25, $29.50, $35<br \/>Mon-Oct-18-10 New York, NY Skirball Center for Performing Arts 8:00 PM $40<br \/>Wed-Oct-20-10 Boston, MA Berklee School of Music 8:00 PM $26, $36<br \/>Fri-Oct-22-10 Montreal, QC Outrement Theatre 8:00 PM $28.50, $35<br \/>Sun-Oct-24-10 Toronto, ON Queen Elizabeth Theater 8:00 PM $39.50<br \/>Wed-Oct-27-10 Chicago, IL Vic Theatre 8:00 PM $45<br \/>Sat-Oct-30-10 Seattle, WA Moore Theatre 8:00 PM $29.50<br \/>Mon-Nov-01-10 Vancouver, BC Vogue Theatre 7:30 PM $31.50<br \/>Wed-Nov-03-10 San Francisco, CA Regency Ballroom 9:00 PM $30, $37.50<\/p>\n<p>Source: MI2N<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RYUICHI SAKAMOTO RELEASES SPECIAL NEW 2-CD PACKAGESeptember 28th, 2010 on Decca\/Universal Music Group ECO-CONSCIOUS, RARE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
