It’s impossible to discuss Alva Noto’s soundtrack to the play »Accomplices« without touching on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s passing. While Sakamoto did not collaborate on these ambient miniatures, it’s hard not to misinterpret Noto’s elegant arrangements and sense of pathos in minimalism as a requiem for his long-time collaborator. If you still manage to make it through »Children of the Sun« without getting goose pimples or shedding a tear, you should truly have someone look at your heart.
