FACE TO FACE

Musician, composer, record producer, writer and pianist, Ryuichi Sakamoto brings something truly unique to each project that he extends his talents to. Recorded at the now disappeared Right Track Studios on the Upper West side of Manhattan, Alex & Ryuichi play on two Steinway grand pianos. A heavy rain storm breaks out in the afternoon which can be heard in the studio inspiring the track "Manhattan Rain". "Freeflow" began as a 30 min long improvisation between Alex and Ryuichi. Alex then sampled the pianos and added guitars, drums and bass which were recorded and mixed by rock producer Flood to create the final version heard on Face To Face.
