Born in Japan in the 1930s, Tomita imagined other worlds – seemingly outwith his own, human reach – and so used his music to explore the unknown. In the 1960s, he pioneered the use of the Moog synthesizer to not just create note-for-note facsimiles of "real" music, but to re-figure electronic compositions as soundscapes; creating daring new sounds that would become highly influential for science fiction cinema soundtracks, modern synth pop, and much more. Synth nerds, movie fans and music producers alike can all take inspiration from his work, and words.

R.I.P. Big thanks for all you've done dear Tomita. Greetings from Poland!

Such a shame he didn't wish to meet Walter/Wendy Carlos ... I still feel it is such a shame that the great SYNTHESTISTS do not get together to do a Mega Concert .. these people were and are the first people to popularise and use Synths... and they are not getting any younger and their life span is getting shorter .... and people are popping off very quickly ... If I was in that hall of fame, I would do it

At the time i met him together with Takahashi (CEO of Roland) i bought the first system 100 and the Roland Modular 1000 System... Isao told me he was using the "New' Space Echo from Roland and was happy like a child. (I ordered one together with my system 1000) Takahashi shipped the Space Echo... to Mr. Schipol in Holland (Name of Amsterdam Airport) but i received it anyway. The Snowflakes falling from Debussy's work were real in Tomita's Recordings. If only Debussy could have heard these.... Magic! What a listening experience..... Sitting with my Headphones untill late night early morning. Thanks !

Shame on the organisers.... bad sound... bad preparation of the sound fragments.... this man is a genius.... they should have done their homework... kids! Nobody understands what he's doing.... what a waste! Yeskim Levantis (producer of 250 new age cd's) He was my hero..... Walter (wendy) Carlos did not come withing lightyears to his work.

Isao was 82 right here. Lived a good long life.

Interesting that there is no mention (unless I missed it) about Tomita's extensive use of the Mellotron on his "Moog" albums ! I'm sure those albums would have sounded pretty mediocre without the lavish choir sounds etc that where produced by the Mellotron. A bit misleading really !
