Isao Tomita in my opinion is probably one of the greatest musicians ever lived...i have every l.p made by him and more besides. i dont need any drugs to get somewhere special listening to his work. to me, he turned classical music from inaccessable to accessable to everyone. Tomita will be playing as my body is cremated .
On the cover of the American sleeve for the Bermuda Triangle Tomita himself says that he had started to use a micro computer in his recordings. Since computers use a binary code parts of his recordings are digitally made.
i"ve always loved moog and mellotron, and tomita has influenced me since i picked up a copy of "pictures at an exhibition" in 77 ! he"s so original with his sounds,they"ll never be anyone close!
One of my oldest memories is me, when I was four, listening to Tomita´s Pictures At An Exhibition. I recently listened to this recording and I realized I never forgot this music!
This part of the album was the absolute high point of my student life in 1988. While everybody else was out raving, I was tuning into this beautiful music and watching the walls. Isao Tomita, may your tribe increase.
The Masterpiece of Tomita ! One of the most beautiful music ever heard. Top-classic of genre (listen also Vangelis/Jarre/Schulze/Kitaro from 70's-80's masterpieces row).At 3:54 a picture from russian legends
@jsound42 Sorry but he did use digital instruments, he used the Emulator and Synclavier, both early digital samplers on Grand Canyon and Dawn Chorus and Bach Fantasy was done almost entirely by sampling his moog to get the polyphonic sounds (the moog was monophonic only). but on his first six albums he used all analogue because there were no digital instruments available at the time. Analogue or digital he is still one of the greatest synthesists of all time.
I bought a tape of this when i was about 11 without knowing why. I got home put it on and was comepletely taken in. The tape had a coded message on it you needed to access through an early games concil. Never did get around to finding out what the message siad.
Je vous remercie, de cette magnifique vidéo créative, l'ensemble, de l'image et de la musique de ce grand artiste "Isao Tomita", qui a su interpréter pratiquement parfaitement les partitions de nos grands musiciens, dans son laboratoire fantastique, entouré de tous ces synthétiseurs. Sa palette de couleurs nous emmène dans un monde, où l'imaginaire devient réalité... Mélomane, s'abstenir. Encore que!!!
Can someone please tell me where I can find Tomita's "Bermuda Triangle"? it has to be one of the most beautiful albums he's ever recorded! thank you in advance if you can find this for me!
Recently i had an error on one of my drives and I lost a few songs!!! I can't believe how furious I was when it happened.. Does any one have or know where I can obtain his discography via torrent or??
The torrent I downloaded it from was "Isao Tomita 23 cd's" BUT i can no longer locate the torrent on isoH. CAn any one help a dear old Tomita fan!!
@Booger6995 True! I have listened to Tomita many many times over the years and it certainly was not all while on shrooms. BUT...I will not forget the evening in Denver that I combined these two great things! Tomita is more than music and shrooms bring something more than a 'high'. Shrooms and great music work VERY well together. Just depends on how much 'expansion' you feel like.
@shoegooguru I wasn't necessarilly saying anything is wrong with shrooming. Been there done that. I can imagine that it would be a great experience with Tomita. Maybe I should have. Might have been cool. Anyway still love the music. L8R
I always been a fan of Tomita music, congratulation for this nice vidéo on his music.

This played on WSHE 103 Miami circa 197? Still strong playing along, Tomita brought us to the digital age of music using classical.

No offense, but nothing about Tomita was "digital". Moogs and modular synths are as analog as you can get :)
