“I saw a synthesizer on the record jacket, behind Bach. For the first time, I discovered that the synthesizer is not an instrument to compose music by using the sounds of existing instruments, but a new instrument or new machine which creates unlimited sound sources”. - Isao Tomita
Isao Tomita is probably one of the most amazing dudes I can think of. While almost everybody reading this is unfamiliar with the name, I do think that his work is somewhat relative to this blog even though I try to stay a little more along the lines of dance music. One day I found an LP of his in a record store and bought it on a whim. This LP was his moog rendition of The Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky. I find this stuff absolutely fascinating. Some of the most creative, artistic & outright whacky stuff out there.
This is awesome, great re-interpretation of one of my favorite classical pieces. Also, his quote about synthesizers kinda blew my mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most relaxing music I've ever heard and was the perfect thing to wake up to, tonight. Thanks.. :)
