Yasuke : music from the Netflix original anime series

"In his score to LeSean Thomas' anime series about a Black samurai in medieval Japan, the Los Angeles musician aligns his visual obsessions with his wide-ranging musical instincts ... In Yasuke's self-consciously hybrid genre approach, Ellison finds himself well matched with a like-minded visual artist who dreams up new worlds and alternate timelines. Flying Lotus ultimately asks us to consider electronic music in similarly fantastical terms: Why limit yourself to one style or school of sound when an infinitude of timbres and textures is at your fingertips?".

"Yasuke's soundtrack is so integral to the series itself that it almost serves as its own character - each of these sonic miniatures, almost all between one and two minutes in length, underlines what's going on in such eye-popping detail on the screen and makes it even more vivid. Psychedelic and immersive, Yasuke is another incredible addition to Steven Ellison's diverse and near-flawless body of work as Flying Lotus".
