The Soundtrack with Haley Taylor

This week on “The Soundtrack” Haley Taylor explores the extraordinary life and legacy of Ryuichi Sakamoto—composer, electronic music pioneer, actor, and quiet revolutionary. From his breakout score for “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence” to his Oscar-winning collaboration on “The Last Emperor,” Sakamoto’s work shaped film music across continents and genres. This is not just a filmography—it’s a portrait of an artist who scored the outer limits of sound and feeling.

 

Haley Taylor hosts “The Soundtrack,” every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. where she explores the scores of the silver screen. Tune in for an hour of unforgettable film music with a look at the composers and the stories that made these melodies sing. Stay connected by following #TheSoundtrack on Instagram.
