I'll have to make one of these posts for Joe at some point too I think. But that will have to be a companion remembrance with Hayao Miyazaki (touchwood).

But for now, all that sadness is only potential, like water hanging on the edge of a fall.
And we get to live in the joy of their living art.

I always lump The Professor and Joe Hisaishi together. But where the Professor is a city boy who longs for the plains and farmlands in compositions like these, Joe is the opposite, layering themes of urban ennui into primarily pastoral pieces.

But that's personal head-canon, at most, I think.

When I first heard this record I didn't know it was an ost. For years I imagined it was a standalone track and Mr Lawrence was a funny friend of the Professor's.

Later , I discovered the Bowie flick it soundtracked, and found it wanting, but only in comparison to this supernova of a composition.

My first encounter with his compositions was in The Last Emperor (1987), which was my then best friend's favourite movie.

It took a few viewings to cut through the haze of my teenage cynicism and blossoming ADHD, but when it eventually connected, it was through the music.

Oh the music.

Haluu nice to see you on here. It's the less chaotic twitter (although tbh twitter is still more entertaining in a watching-the-world-burn from a distance kinda way) and a alot more friendly for creatives!
