Sibelius Intermezzo Karelia Suite - Isao Tomita style

By Paul Shillito www.classitronic.net

Sibelius's Intermezzo from the Karelia Suite Op.11 classitronically recreated by yours truly. Classitronic is what I call electronic classical music with my style being heavily influenced by Isao Tomita

This was an interesting piece because I remember it as the theme music to a TV documentary/current affairs series from the late 60's or early 70's, called This Week, I just loved the main sequence when it kicks in, so to give a kick I used a rather hard edged dance string sound and arpeggiated the strings to give a Tangerine Dream style sequence sound.

The music was created using Malström, Thor, Minimoog V2, Jupiter 8V, Battery 3 and Omnisphere soft synths and arranged and mixed in Cubase 4.

The graphic is a section of an image called "Piano wave" by James Allridge III.

I think that if Tomita had done this he would have used a greater pallette of sounds and made a more open canvas to paint the musical picture he had in his mind but keep up the good work. You are getting there.

@saxon954 Yes, you are quite correct there, though this was an earlier work, now I try make a wider range of sounds in my works, try the Petrushka compilation I did, that's more indicative but the full version is even more varied.

Gave me chills like when I hear Tomita, thanks!

@GregoryArnold93 Thanks, great to hear to you like and consider it along side Tomita :-)

Do rather like this. Hope Tomita is OK over there in Japan...

@silverstartrucker Thanks for the comments, Yes I hope he is OK, though I believe he is Tokyo based so I think he will be

Very clever, I wonder what Sibelius would have thought ?
