Ecophony Rinne

Geinoh Yamashirogumi's landmark 1986 symphony merges ancient traditions with cutting-edge sound design. Featuring over 200 musicians, Ecophony Rinne layers Tibetan horns, Central African field recordings, Buddhist mantras, and Javanese percussion into a four-part ecological masterpiece. Composer Ōhashi's revolutionary "Hypersonic Effect" theory embeds inaudible ultra-high frequencies into the mix—a technique that shapes perception beyond hearing. This Time Capsule reissue, half-speed mastered at Abbey Road, is the first vinyl pressing to fully capture this groundbreaking approach. A precursor to the Akira soundtrack, Ecophony Rinne stands as a singular work that doesn't describe nature, culture, or technology—it embodies, defines, and transforms them.
