Out of Noise in Bloomington, MN

Musician and composer
Ryuichi Sakamoto
was one of a handful of concerned artists who took part in The Cape Farewell Project, in which scientists joined with the creative community for a conference in Greenland to address and investigate global warming. During his stay in Greenland,
Sakamoto
made a number of field recordings that he incorporated into his album
Out of Noise
; the album is dominated by graceful, minimalist keyboard pieces punctuated by electronic noise, ambient sounds and bits of found voices. ~ Mark Deming
