Geinoh Yamashirogumi

Artist

A collective known for fusing folk music, choral singing, and traditional performing arts into something all its own. For the film 'AKIRA' they created what became the work's defining sound, with pieces like 'KANEDA' and 'TETSUO' weaving gamelan, Buddhist chant, and chorus into an overwhelming sonic force. Over the collapsing, reborn Neo-Tokyo their music laid a primal, festive grandeur, filling the film's world with a sound like no other.
