Ryuichi Sakamoto was a Japanese musician, composer, and actor born on January 17, 1952 in Tokyo, Japan. He studied at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music where he specialized in composition and electronic/ethnic music. Sakamoto began his career in the mid-1970s as a composer, arranger, and producer for popular rock, jazz, and classical artists in Japan. He gained fame as a member of the synth-rock band Yellow Magic Orchestra. Throughout his career, he collaborated with various artists including David Sylvian and appeared in films such as Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence alongside David Bowie.
Sakamoto's musical talent extended to film scores as well. He won an Academy Award for his score to the 1987 film The Last Emperor directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Additionally, he composed soundtracks for Pedro Almodovar's High Heels and Oliver Stone's Wild Palms. Sakamoto was married to Japanese pianist and singer Akiko Yano with whom he collaborated on some recordings.
Aside from his musical achievements, Ryuichi Sakamoto was also known for being critical of copyright law which he believed to be outdated in the information age. His legacy lives on through his daughter Miu Sakamoto who is also involved in the music industry under the alias Sister M.

Carsten Nicolai, known by his pseudonym *Alva Noto*, is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. Born in 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, he belongs to a generation of artists who seamlessly blend music, art, and science. With a strong focus on reductionism, Nicolai pushes the boundaries of electronic music through his unique code of signs, acoustics, and visual symbols.

In 1994, Nicolai founded the label *NOTON* as a small imprint which gained momentum with the release of his record "spin" in 1996. This led to a collaboration with RasterMusic and eventually resulted in the merger of both labels into Raster-Noton by 1999. Currently working independently under NOTON since 2017, they have released Alva Noto's entire back catalogue and are planning future releases.

Nicolai's diverse musical projects include notable collaborations with *Ryuichi Sakamoto*, *Ryoji Ikeda (cyclo)*, *Blixa Bargeld*, and *Mika Vainio*. As Alva Noto, he has performed extensively across Europe, Asia, South America, and the US at prestigious venues such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City and Centre Pompidou in Paris. He also scored the music for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film 'The Revenant', garner
