Akira Kurosawa--Music for Film: Throne of Blood

[javititou]

unlike this is not an horror film it gives me te chills

This music has sunk deep into my soul. Does Noh music really sound a lot like this, or is it rather just a passing similarity?

To me it doesn't sound 'dead' but incredibly sad, sorrowful (which in a way is the opposite of dead). How i imagine music for the ancient greek drama could sound.

@Schizopantheist I meant to add: if someone knows some Noh music that sounds just like this, please recommend it!

god...sounds so desolate and...dead...whatever they use as the percussion just sounds like bones slapping together to me...

satos a genius, as is kurosawa.

Recently I've watched this film - EPIC MASTERPIECE, like this music!

Look upon the ruins

Of the castle of delusion,

Haunted only now

By the spirits

Of those who perished.

A scene of carnage

Born of consuming desire,

Never changing

Now and throughout eternity.

Great soundtrack it does have a certain Noh quality about it.
