    Ryuichi Sakamoto is one of our greatest contemporary composers. He is a magnificent pianist who has created award-winning film scores, most recently for Alejandro Iñárittu on the award winning film The Revenant. He sat down with KCRW's Chris Douridas for a chat and played a few songs for us. Hear it at 10am!
