about

Recently I've been listening and rediscovering Isao Tomita.
He was a huge influence during my childhood:

I fondly remember my father borrowing the popular "Picture at an Exhibition" vinyl from the library and hearing the famous theme by Mussorgsky interpreted by electronic voices.

I also remember a school play in elementary school set in the future. And we had choreographed a dance to Tomita's interpretation of "The Firebird" by Stravinsky.

I admired the bold use of electronic sounds and effects.
This was certainly flamboyantly electronic music.
His sound evoked, in my mind, the future and the outer reaches of space.
Using Tomita as a template, here is my homage to one of Japan's masters of New Age.

Influenced by Isao Tomita.
This song is dedicated to Tomo Morita, who hasn't stopped believing in me yet.
