Ghostly artist and RCRD LBL affiliate Christopher Willits is teaming up with legendary Japanese musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto for Ocean Fire, a lush ambient record dedicated to the ecological state of the world’s oceans. It’s the perfect marriage of Willits' digitalized guitar sounds and Sakamoto’s (who, as a member of the seminal Yellow Magic Orchestra in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, helped pioneer electronic music as we know it today) pianos compositions. The collaboration is kind of epic and we’re interested to see how it is received when the album drops next month on 12K Records. Check out the links for more info.
