Akira

Dark electronica, found sounds and walls of taiko drums evoke a cinematic journey into the dark heart of Japanese sci-fi anime

In January 2017 Black Cab wrote and performed an alternative soundtrack to the 1988 manga classic Akira live at Melbourne’s Astor Theatre with taiko master Toshi Sakamoto. This performance formed the basis for a full-length alt-soundtrack album, “ (Akira)“, released in August 2017. The album is broadly inspired by Japanese sci-fi anime classics such as Akira and Ghost In The Shell.

This show has been performed in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and can be presented with or without live Japanese taiko drums.
