OK kids, time to expand the vocabulary. Today we've got a noun, bricolage, meaning 1) (according to Dictionary.com) "something made or put together using whatever materials happen to be available," 2) an Orange Juice-chugging guitar band from the UK, and 3) (pl.) the title of master composer/musician Ryuichi Sakamoto's upcoming remix project.

Stock boys everywhere will pack record store shelves with Bricolages on September 19, courtesy of KAB America. Artists including Cornelius, Craig Armstrong, Richard Devine, Fennesz, Alva Noto, and others formed this 13-track release by remixing material that happened to be on Sakamoto's 2005 solo release, Chasm.

Sakamoto took home an Oscar, a Grammy, a Golden Globe, and a whole slew of other awards for his score to Bernardo Bertolucci's 1987 best picture The Last Emperor. So he's a pretty big deal. In fact, he's taking an executive producer credit (in association with Norika Sora, Evan Balmer, Justin Kleinfeld, and Eric Giambertone) for Bricolages. Nothing like seeing your name in the liner notes, right?
