French Jazz sextet Asynchrone reimagines legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto's repertoire. As fans of the maestro's work, French free jazz/electro collective Asynchrone began to interrogate his oeuvre in 2020, aiming to get inside his music, taking it to unexplored new dimensions. On their debut album 'Plastic Bamboo', they achieve that and more. With a wildly eclectic approach in mind, there will be songs that most will be familiar with: ‘Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' and Yellow Magic Orchestra's ‘Behind The Mask', in particular. And then there are the deeper cuts from Sakamoto's solo albums from the early eighties that are less famous but that nevertheless helped to expand and augment the genre. (No Format)
