We watched Coda on MUBI recently. This documentary celebrated the remarkable legacy of composer Ryuichi Sakamoto exploring his life and work, offering a fascinating glimpse into the artistic process of the renowned musician who passed away in March 2023. Best known for the soundtrack to Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence and being a founding member of Tokyo’s pioneering computer-pop trio Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto had a prolific career composing soundtracks for the likes of Alejandro G Iñárritu and a beautiful final album 12 which was recorded during hospital stays. Glasshouse will perform a new arrangement of Sakamoto’s work adding this extra date after the first one before Christmas sold out.
