Incomplete, is an occasional series of music videos by Ryiuchi Sakamoto posted on his You Tube site. These available online only pieces include a wide variety of collaborations with the likes of Alva Noto, Laurie Anderson, Arto Lindsey, Christian Fennez, Kenzen Kudo, Ross Kare, Lim Giong etc. Musically Sakamoto continues to utilise fertile conjunctions of electronic drone with sputtering interjections, randon cracklings and bursts of rustling and twitterings drawn from or imitative of natural sound.
The videos are shot in starkly contrasted black and white of country, streets and houses in the night time, often overlooked by the same cloud wrapped moon. Each track is definitely a mood piece, some of them have far too much melancholy or an unsettled tone to ever be considered ambient. But they possess a brittle involving beauty that I find entrancing. Here's a link to my playlist and a sample video just to wet your appetite
