Fennesz & Sakamoto 2011 Flumina [2xCD]

"The third collaborative album from Christian Fennesz and Ryuichi Sakamoto, following on from 'Sala Santa Cecilia' and 'Cendre', [sits] in the canon of piano-based compositions from the Touch imprint. 'Flumina' embodies twenty-four pieces of music created throughout Ryuichi Sakamoto's tour of Japan. While on tour Sakamoto played a piano piece in a different key at the beginning of every show with the end objective of a collaborative project always in mind. After twenty-four shows, Sakamoto was left with a tonal range that explored all twenty-four steps of the western tonal system." (quoted from bleep.com listing)
