日本暢銷巨作!音樂大師坂本龍一的絕響自傳。坦率記錄從童年琴聲到奧斯卡榮耀,晚年雖受抗癌之苦,仍將生命奉獻於環保與前衛藝術。這是大師留給世界最動人的文字演奏,完美體現藝術千秋的傳奇一生。

內容簡介

日本暢銷巨作,來自享譽世界的音樂天才與電子音樂教父——傳奇的坂本龍一,一場關於藝術創作、生命實踐與接納死亡的非凡反思。

作為日本最具影響力的藝術家與作曲家之一,坂本龍一擁有多重面貌。他最為人熟知的身分或許是貝納多·貝托魯奇電影《末代皇帝》的奧斯卡得獎作曲家,以及開創性電子樂團「黃色魔術交響樂團」(YMO)的創辦人;但同時,他也是一位流行偶像、前衛的遠見者、科技創新者,以及一名自豪的環保主義者。儘管他獨特的才華超越了媒介與國界,坂本龍一本身仍對自己如何演變成「坂本龍一」這個複雜的現象感到好奇——這是一段探尋「我為何過著這種生活?」之答案的旅程。

充滿坦率照片的《音樂使人自由》(Music Sets You Free),是一段活得精彩無比的生命那不可思議的編年史:它以音樂之旅的形式,私密、沉思且迷人地敘述了他的生命故事,從他孩提時代與鋼琴的第一次邂逅,到他崛起成為全球流行巨星和屢獲殊榮的作曲家。坂本龍一永無止境的好奇心帶來了無數的經歷:與 YMO 一起製作兼具流行與實驗性的熱門歌曲、與大衛·鮑伊一同主演《俘虜》、與大衛·拜恩、伊吉·帕普和布萊恩·威爾森等流行奇才合作、在瑪丹娜的音樂錄影帶中現身,甚至為 Gap 擔任模特兒。

在整個職業生涯中,坂本龍一也是一位投入的社會運動家,在福島核災後熱烈抗議核能發電,並為他 2017 年的專輯《async》修復了一台遭受海嘯破壞的鋼琴。雖然晚年手術和治療的痛苦讓他無論在情感上或身體上都顯得脆弱,但在經歷了一趟親眼見證全球暖化影響的格陵蘭蛻變之旅後,坂本龍一挺過了痛苦,將他最後的藝術演變記錄進更前衛的作品中。

《音樂使人自由》既是一份自我省思的臨終宣言,也是對生命、死亡和藝術不朽力量引人深思的冥想。這是一位遠見者的自傳,他的生命與作品具體展現了「藝術千秋,人生朝露」(Ars Longa, Vita Brevis)這句格言。作為一位創作天才最後出版的作品,這是一場罕見且永恆的文字演出,優美地伴隨著坂本龍一那永恆、動人的音樂演奏。

A bestseller in Japan, a remarkable reflection on making art, living life, and accepting death, from the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto, the world-renowned musical genius and godfather of electronic music.

One of Japan's most influential artists and composers, Ryuichi Sakamoto was a man of multitudes. Perhaps best known as the Oscar-winning composer of Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor and a founder of the groundbreaking electronic music group Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto was a pop icon, an avant-garde visionary, a techno innovator, and a proud environmentalist. While his unique brilliance transcended mediums as well as borders, Sakamoto himself was curious about how he came to be the complex phenomenon known as "Ryuichi Sakamoto”—a journey to answer the question, "Why do I lead this life?"

Filled with candid photos, Music Sets You Free is the incredible chronicle of a life excitingly lived: an intimate, contemplative, and fascinating recounting of his life story as a musical journey, from his first childhood encounter with a piano to his rise as a global pop star and award-winning composer. Sakamoto's boundless curiosity led to myriad experiences: producing catchy yet experimental hits with YMO, starring with David Bowie in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, collaborating with pop geniuses such as David Byrne, Iggy Pop, and Brian Wilson, appearing in a Madonna music video, and even modeling for the Gap.

Throughout his career, Sakamoto was also a dedicated social activist, avidly protesting nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, and restoring a tsunami-damaged piano for his 2017 album async. While the pain of surgeries and treatments left him both emotionally and physically vulnerable in his later life, Sakamoto pushed through the pain to record his final artistic evolution into more avant-garde work after a transformative trip to Greenland during which he witnessed the effects of global warming first-hand.

Music Sets You Free is both a self-reflective testament and thought-provoking meditation on life, mortality, and the enduring power of art. It is the memoir of a visionary whose life and work embodied the aphorism Ars Longa, Vita Brevis (“Art is long, life is short”). The final published work from a creative genius, it is a rare and lasting performance in words that beautifully accompanies Sakamoto's eternal, moving performances in music.
