Geinoh-Yamashirogumi "Kaneda" from AKIRA live

Geinoh Yamashirogumi is a Japanese musical collective founded on January 19, 1974 by Tsutomu Ōhashi,[1] consisting of hundreds of people from all walks of life: journalists, doctors, engineers, students, businessmen, etc.

They are known for both their faithful re-creations of folk music from around the world, as well as their fusion of various traditional musical styles with modern instrumentation and synthesizers. For example, in the 1980s, MIDI synthesizers could not handle the tuning systems of traditional Indonesian gamelan music, so the group had to teach themselves how to program in order to modify their equipment. The album that followed, Ecophony Rinne (1986), was a new direction for the group: they had not previously incorporated computer-generated sounds into their work. The success of this album brought them to the attention of Katsuhiro Ōtomo, who commissioned them to create the soundtrack of Akira.[2] The soundtrack is built on the concept of recurrent themes or "modules". Texturally, the soundtrack is a mix of digital synthesizers (Roland D-50 and Yamaha DX7-II, both of which could, by then, be tuned to the Pure-Minor, slendro, and pelog tuning scales), Indonesian bamboo percussion (jegog, etc.), traditional Japanese theatrical and spiritual music (Noh), European classical, and progressive rock

I kinda picked it on purpose precisely because it’s by them pff

In the same way I like imagining the first bit of Reincarnation as an older Kaneda theme or just a general theme for him, Kai and Kei

Ecophony Rinne - CLICK FOR FULL VIDEO Drawing from Geinoh Yamashirogumi's trilogy of rebirth themed music to reflect upon the lineage and future of The Matrix, as well as Neo's journey of self-actualisation influenced by his relationship to Trinity and Morpheus's faith in him in the 1999 film

Ecophony Rinne

[burlveneer-music]

Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Ecophony Gaia - the Invitation label has produced a 2LP vinyl reissue of this 1990 work

Deep, deep, earth music from Tsutomu Ōhashi and the Geinoh Yamashirogumi crew - a macrosymphony composed for the International Garden and Greenery Exposition in Osaka, Japan, 1990.

"Ecophony Gaia, was supposed to be the stunning, aural centerpiece for a light and water performance system echoing the sentiment of the venue: “Harmonious Coexistence of Nature and Mankind.”  Ecophony Gaia was in its truest essence the final part of a trilogy that began with 1986’s Ecophony Rinne, continued, in 1988, with their most-known work the soundtrack to Katsuhiro Otomo’s dystopian, cyber-punk film Akira (released as Symphonic Suite Akira), and this release mere months later. Looking back one can break up these releases into a holy musical trinity: Ecophony Rinne = spirit, Symphonic Suite Akira = body, and Ecophony Gaia = Gaia/earth.  

Ecophony Gaia, Geinoh Yamashirogumi most hopeful release. Rebirth, the hardest thing to capture in music, is something Ecophony Gaia expounds upon through sonics and feeling. You hear this in light echoes from Symphonic Suite AKIRA coursing through Ecophony Gaia, acting as symbols saying: “not everything from the past needs to be discarded, that certain things, when rethought of, hold a heavier power.” The Japanese Noh music you heard trapezing through Akira’s“Illusion” walks positively untethered in Ecophony Gaia’s “Euphony”, Indonesian gong chimes that hit darkly in Akira’s “Tetsuo” transform Ecophony Gaia’s “Catastrophe” into the light sublime, serene music that it is. What’s left over are the songs that point to new directions. Those that derive their influence from things that aren’t easily quantifiable. The introduction of field recordings to a warmer palette of sound makes Ecophony Gaia Geinoh Yamashirogumi’s first roots album. Of course, these roots belong to worldlier kind of music.

Oh right I haven’t talked about music I listened to while reading this thing. Which I normally do because FUCK IT. It is important to me and how I read. Anyway. It was a mix of things from boost era Sonic games, especially Unleashed’s daytime stages, and from the Geinoh Yamashirogumi who did Akira’s soundtrack. In particular I listened to Ecophony Gaia a few times while reading, to the point where it has become kind of The Sound Of The Book for me.

I finished it while reading Ecophony Rinne though and conveniently while nearing the end of said album. Which has a nice mood for the end of the book, I feel. What with the whole crowning thing. Reincarnation, the last track of the album, is just a fitting sound for the end of the book.

I put Geinoh Yamashirogumi’s Ecophony Rinne on after cycling through the Akira ost a few times and Dark Slumber started playing right before Yamagata died and I 🥺
