The Yellow Magic Orchestra Mixtape - An Original Video Voyage

About this movie

THE YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA MIXTAPE is a feature-length big screen celebration of electronic music pioneers and Japanese technopop architects YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA! Originally commissioned by 7th House, for its recent premiere at LA’s Philosophical Research Society. Lovingly assembled from a dizzying array of materials spanning the group’s history, this audiovisual journey tells YMO’s story through classic and rare live performances, music videos, interviews, television and film appearances, commercials, solo and side projects, and all manner of strange and wonderful ephemera — tracing the coming together of Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Yukihiro Takahashi, three extraordinary musical minds who produced some of the most exhilarating and forward-thinking music of their era and beyond, as well as the artists in their orbit, including close collaborator and key live band member Akiko Yano, whose musical presence became an integral part of the YMO story.
