On the Playlist 3JUN2019…

Was listening to Tomita today and his album "Tomita's Greatest Hits". Isao Tomita was a very early pioneer in electronic music. He used early Moog synthesizers and created complex soundscapes that were the progenitor of many electronic musical styles well known today including synth-pop and trance. He also did some amazing work with recreating classical music in an electronic style. He won several Grammys during his life and worked with Disney on several occasions. He passed away in 2016 in Tokyo from heart failure. I love his music today for its lo-fi and yet complicated electronic sound. When I think about when he was creating this music it is quite amazing.
