Last month, Joan Arnau Pàmies announced the release of his new album Guidelines/Fonaments, and shared two enthralling singles, ‘Esperança’ and ‘Pes’. Ahead of the album’s release on April 4th through Protomaterial Records, the Catalan composer and multi-instrumentalist is teasing the album again with a new single, ‘AN + RS’. The track serves as a heartfelt tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto, honouring his work with Alva Noto, ahead of the two-year anniversary of Sakamoto’s passing. Speaking about it, Pàmies shares:

“Their live electronics and piano duo has a very particular sound that I always found very attractive. This improvisation for electronics and piano is my attempt to reconstruct something similar, and a way to show my gratitude to the late Sakamoto, whose music I find beautiful and emotional in ways that are not cliché.”

‘AN + RS’ is offered with a video recorded live earlier this year. Watch it below.
