Willits & Sakamoto: Ocean Fire
Label: 12K
A beautiful album from an unlikely pairing: the legendary electronic pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto and Bay Area guitarist Christopher Willits, a relative newcomer to the scene (compared to Sakamoto, anyway). Together the two have put together an inspired record capturing the awesome majesty of the ocean in all its forms, from dense, heavy waves of sound to gentle ripples. Ocean Fire is as dark, mysterious and beautiful as the nature the artists pay tribute to.
