Kamasi Washington composed one of the three soundtracks to Shinichir Watanabe’s new anime series Lazarus .

The jazz musician was inspired by anime series Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo .

Lazarus chronicles a misfit team's fight to save the world after the whole of humanity learns that it has been poisoned with a lethal toxin.

There's both a hopelessness and a darkly thrilling emotional element to Lazarus ’ story that’s all wrapped up in this question of “how would the world change if everyone thought they were about to die” “Vortex” was going to be the main theme, but it ended up being played in the first episode during the chase scene.
