Akira OST


This OST is unconventional by any standard. Performed by the Geinoh Yamashirogumi, the music consists mostly of percussion and chanting, along with a few diverse sound effects and - occasionally - more standard instrumentation like an electric guitar. The percussion definitely has an uncontemporary, ethnic sound. Various types of percussion commonly build upon each other persistently into a massive front of sound.
