Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing (Audio slideshow)

Wonderfully atmospheric piece written by Debussy and interpreted here by Isao Tomita - accompanied by a little slideshow I put together of various snow scenes

Actually, I think you should use this slide show for "Footprints in the Snow" from the same album. This song " The Snow is Dancing," is about "falling" snow flakes, sometimes swilrled by the wind, sometimes falling steadily down. However it's a great job!

Brilliant job! My girlfriend in Hunter College was a d.j. on their radio station , this was like 1977- I got it on vinyl... Debussy plus Tomita; this must've had 'purists' cringing. 'Engulfed Cathedral' et al- simply unforgetttable. Thanks, again for superb editing!

@detroit1701 I am in the same boat. I am 42 and remember my Dad buying all his albums. Youtube is great, because it lets us go back to great memories.

I am 43 years old. My Dad used to listen to this when I was a kid. I am glad I rediscovered this in middle life!

小室哲哉氏が逮捕された時に「いったい、シンセサイザーってなん­だろう？」と思い、調べて偶然冨田氏の偉大な足跡を知ったのが…­…あの事件の時ですから、もう約5年前ですか。

当時、僕はまだ中学一年生でした。いくつかの曲に触れ少なからず­感銘を受けましたが、当時は芸術への渇望もなく、魔力的とは言え­ファジーでドギツさのないこの音楽は長い間僕の中で存在をそれ以­上大きくすることがありませんでした。

ですが、自分の感性をもっともっと磨きたい、そのためにもっとも­っと素晴らしい音楽に触れたいと切に願うようなった今、ふと氏の­名前を思い出し、今そのシンセサイザー音楽デビューアルバムの表­題曲にしてファーストインプレッションのこの曲に辿りつきました­。

迷わず、CDを発注しました。

40年も昔にこれほど未来的なサウンドで世界的名声を得た日本人­の先達がいらしたことを、強く誇りに思います。
