Keiichi Suzuki | Zatoichi (Soundtrack) | Album

Keiichi Suzuki’s soundtrack for Takeshi Kitano's 2003 film Zatoichi is a brilliant, genre-bending work that subverts traditional samurai movie music. Suzuki—celebrated for his experimental rock band Moonriders and his iconic work on Nintendo's Mother (EarthBound) video game series—replaces expected epic orchestral arrangements with a minimalist, avant-garde fusion of electronic beats, traditional Japanese instrumentation, and found-sound percussion.
