Ryuichi Sakamoto - "fullmoon" (from "async")

En "fullmoon", Ryuichi Sakamoto crea una atmósfera contemplativa donde la música y la palabra se entrelazan para reflexionar sobre la fugacidad de la vida. La pieza se basa en un texto filosófico que nos enfrenta con la idea de que nuestras experiencias son limitadas, aunque a menudo vivamos como si fueran infinitas. Lo más interesante es que esta reflexión no se presenta de una sola forma, sino que se repite en distintos idiomas, reforzando la idea de que este pensamiento trasciende culturas y fronteras.

Musicalmente, la composición es minimalista, con delicadas capas de sintetizadores y notas de piano que parecen flotar en el espacio, envolviendo la voz con un aire de melancolía y serenidad. La repetición de la letra en diferentes lenguas crea un efecto hipnótico, como si el mensaje se expandiera en un eco interminable, reafirmando su universalidad. En cada iteración, las palabras adquieren un matiz distinto según el idioma en que se pronuncian, haciendo que el oyente perciba el mismo mensaje desde perspectivas ligeramente diferentes.

"fullmoon" no solo es una pieza musical, sino una meditación sonora sobre la impermanencia. La forma en que el texto se repite en varias lenguas nos recuerda que, sin importar nuestra cultura o idioma, todos enfrentamos el paso del tiempo de la misma manera. Sakamoto logra convertir una reflexión filosófica en una experiencia sensorial, en la que la música y la voz se combinan para recordarnos la importancia de cada momento que vivimos.

Because we don′t know when we will die

We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well

Yet everything happens only a certain number of times

And a very small number, really

How many more times will you remember

A certain afternoon of your childhood

Some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being

That you can't even conceive your life without it?

Perhaps four or five times more

Perhaps not even that

How many more times will you watch the full moon rise?

Perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems limitless

Having ADHD is like trying to run asynchronous code on a single-threaded CPU. Sure the OS can try to allocate CPU time for all of the parallel tasks running but it's not efficient, takes a lot of time and is error-prone.

Also don't forget the part where your manager says that we'll try to look at something together later and it's just like he went in and wrote await meeting(); into the middle of the main loop.

Your manager is also connected through a PS/2-port that can just send a CPU interrupt at any time by calling you.

"Null Zone Ahead"

2 Warning signs/pictograms + variations made in GIMP. Fanart for "The Backrooms" by Kane Pixels. Self-made, I recycled and altered the Async "A" I made for earlier fanart and used an altered version of the running man pictogram I also used in earlier art (both made by me).

Gosh these are just so much fun to make, I just cannot make myself stop. I love how this could be both an 'ad' for the series but also appear within it - Async might fashion something like this to warn the ppl working the Complex or in the wider world, depending on whether or not Null Zones become common knowledge.

I first made one and then decided I wanted to do a variation as well (a reoccuring theme with my art it seems); one is inspired by Found Footage 2, the other one by Informational Video.

I decided to make the sign Backrooms-yellow instead of the usual, more vibrant warning-sign-yellow, though I suppose Async would actually go with the classic yellow most likely.

(Addition: So I got another idea how to depict the 'no-clipping' and it wouldn't leave my brain, so I did the reasonable thing and made that version as well. Welp. Perfectionism is a curse and a blessing. The first row pics are actually the ones I made later on, 2nd row came first.)

An apartment complex is simple to most people, sure.

But what if it’s a 13-dimensional non-Euclidean apartment complex with dimensionally transcendental properties?!

What then?

Not so simple now. Is it?

Though thats very unlikely to happen.

But still.

Helena Basilova: Andata ( Homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto).

Homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto, editado en 2024 y grabado en el emblemático Funkhaus de Berlín, constituye una de las aproximaciones más refinadas y emocionalmente sobrias al repertorio pianístico del compositor japonés. La pianista Helena Basilova no se limita a la transcripción: reinterpreta desde una escucha atenta al legado sonoro y estético de Sakamoto. La arquitectura del álbum ha sido cuidadosamente pensada: obras seleccionadas de discos fundamentales como async, 12, Out of Noise, Insen y Playing the Piano se reordenan no como una antología, sino como una nueva narrativa sonora. Los tratamientos electrónicos (aportados por el productor Maarten Vos), no distorsionan el timbre del piano, sino que lo expanden mediante texturas discretas, reverberaciones prolongadas y capas armónicas que funcionan como fondo atmosférico.  El uso de la electrónica, no actúa como mero adorno o fondo sonoro, sino que participa activamente en la construcción formal y expresiva de la obra, ampliando la dimensión acústica del piano sin desvirtuar su esencia. En Andata, como en el resto del trabajo, Basilova evidencia un dominio técnico elegante que evita la saturación y prioriza la claridad del discurso armónico. La crítica especializada ha valorado con entusiasmo esta combinación de fidelidad estética e innovación tímbrica. El resultado es un álbum de cámara contemporáneo que escapa tanto del homenaje complaciente como de la reconstrucción especulativa. Un disco que honra a Sakamoto desde la precisión, la sutileza y una profunda sensibilidad artística.
