Ryūichi Sakamoto: Async at the Park Avenue Armory, Ryūichi Sakamoto: Async at the Park Avenue Armory

The film of this Ryūichi Sakamoto concert in New York may be imagined on multiple screens whose continuity would be a substitute to the editing of Stephen Nomura Schible’s film. The endless metamorphoses of the images being screened onto the ceiling  blend with Sakamoto’s precise gestures in the midst of all the instruments, deployed like an installation around which the audience finds its role as extras, caught in listening postures. The way shots are cut lets us imagine the musical continuum and its staging.
