Ryuichi Sakamoto

That's why I drove upstate. The sound environment is completely different. Even a big city like New York has a unique soundscape. Paris is a big city, but last year in June or something, July, I was walking around in Paris recording sounds. Sounds are very different. 

To me, recording is like fishing. You know, catching fish and then I get back home and start cooking with the fish. And that's exactly how I feel. So, in Paris I got the great fish. It made me really happy. All of a sudden I started hearing some children's voices from a building, like a school. In Japan, schools have a big yard. But in New York or Paris, they don't have a yard. Very tiny. So from the street all of a sudden I heard children singing. I don't know that I have heard children singing from the schools in New York.
