In June 2004, members of the Ryuichi Sakamoto Yahoo! group joined together to pay homage to one of the world's finest composers.
In 2002 Ryuichi Sakamoto started a project entitled Chain Music, which involved him passing around a piece of music to various artistic collaborators. Each collaborator added to the piece of music, which expanded into almost a seventeen minute composition featuring some of the world's finest electronic composers.
We at CM2 are following the tradition of Chain Music by creating our very own project. We started the project with a single musical link that lasted no more than 3 minutes, and from that each composer was given the chance to extend the piece contributing with their own musical link. In addition to the main CM2 piece (which we have appropriately named 'Chain Music II') composers were encouraged to contribute their own original pieces of music, and also to contribute cover songs and group collaborations to pay homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto's vast career. On behalf of all at CM2, I hope you enjoy our music!
