✚ Ry奴ichi Sakamoto, who passed away in March 2023, left behind a dazzling sonic tapestry woven through the history of contemporary electronic music, making him a true sound architect whose influence extended far beyond Japan's borders. It was as a co-founder and keyboardist of the trio Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) in 1978, alongside Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, that Sakamoto first exploded onto the world stage, shaping synth-pop and techno-pop with a sharp sense of melody and a pioneering use of synthesizers, sequencers, and notably, the Roland TR-808 drum machine, revolutionizing the soundscape by offering a sophisticated and chic Asian alternative to Kraftwerk. Their global success, particularly with tracks like Rydeen and the exotic electronic flair of Firecracker, not only made YMO the best-selling band in Japan of its era but also paved the way for electro-funk and hip-hop, with Sakamoto's solo tracks such as Riot in Lagos (1980) being cited as early blueprints for artists like Afrika Bambaataa. Parallel to the band's career, his solo discography broadened through constant exploration, fusing his classical training in piano and composition with electronic avant-garde, ambient, and ethno-fusion, ranging from his daring debut album Thousand Knives (1978) to more introspective and meditative works like async (2017). Beyond the studio, Sakamoto became synonymous with the electronic film score, inventing a style of cinematic composition that seamlessly blended synthetic and orchestral textures; his work for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), in which he also acted alongside David Bowie, earned him a BAFTA, and his masterful score for The Last Emperor (1987) secured him an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, cementing his international reputation as a composer capable of evoking deep, complex emotional landscapes. His ability to navigate between genres, from YMO's pop anthems to the minimalist experimental collaborations with artist Alva Noto, and through to sumptuous orchestral arrangements, underscores his genius, making him a rare cross-genre figure, constantly seeking new sonic frontiers, merging acoustic sounds with digital technologies to create a borderless, "cosmic music" that will continue to inspire generations of electronic artists to come.

✚ La trajectoire de Ry奴ichi Sakamoto, disparu en mars 2023, est un fil d'Ariane 茅blouissant tiss茅 脿 travers l'histoire de la musique 茅lectronique contemporaine, faisant de lui un v茅ritable architecte sonore dont l'influence d茅passe largement les fronti猫res du Japon. C'est en tant que co-fondateur et clavi茅riste du trio Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) en 1978, aux c么t茅s de Haruomi Hosono et Yukihiro Takahashi, que Sakamoto a d'abord explos茅 sur la sc猫ne mondiale, fa莽onnant le synth-pop et le techno-pop avec un sens aigu de la m茅lodie et une utilisation pionni猫re des synth茅tiseurs, des s茅quenceurs et, notamment, de la bo卯te 脿 rythmes Roland TR-808, r茅volutionnant le paysage sonore en proposant une alternative asiatique chic et sophistiqu茅e 脿 Kraftwerk. Leur succ猫s plan茅taire, notamment avec des titres comme Rydeen et l'茅lectronique exotique de Firecracker, a non seulement fait de YMO le groupe le plus vendu au Japon de son 茅poque, mais a aussi ouvert la voie 脿 l'electro-funk et au hip-hop, avec des morceaux solo de Sakamoto tels que Riot in Lagos (1980) qui sont cit茅s comme des mod猫les pr茅coces pour des artistes comme Afrika Bambaataa. Parall猫lement 脿 la carri猫re du groupe, sa discographie solo s'est enrichie d'une exploration constante, fusionnant sa formation classique en piano et composition avec l'avant-garde 茅lectronique, l'ambient et l'ethno-fusion, allant de son audacieux premier album Thousand Knives (1978) jusqu'脿 des 艙uvres plus introspectives et m茅ditatives comme async (2017). Au-del脿 du studio, Sakamoto est devenu synonyme de bande originale 茅lectronique, inventant un style de composition cin茅matographique qui m茅langeait harmonieusement les textures synth茅tiques et orchestrales; son travail pour Furyo (1983), dans lequel il a 茅galement jou茅 aux c么t茅s de David Bowie, lui a valu un BAFTA, et sa partition magistrale pour Le Dernier Empereur (1987) lui a valu un Oscar, un Grammy et un Golden Globe, cimentant sa r茅putation internationale comme un compositeur capable d'茅voquer des paysages 茅motionnels profonds et complexes. Sa capacit茅 脿 naviguer entre les genres, des hymnes pop de YMO aux collaborations exp茅rimentales minimalistes avec l'artiste Alva Noto, en passant par les arrangements orchestraux somptueux, prouve son g茅nie, faisant de lui une figure transgenre rare, constamment 脿 la recherche de nouvelles fronti猫res sonores, m锚lant sons acoustiques et technologies num茅riques pour cr茅er une musique cosmique sans fronti猫res qui continuera d'inspirer les g茅n茅rations futures d'artistes 茅lectroniques.
