Isao Tomita | Grand Canyon [1982]

Isao Tomita (冨田 勲) was a Japanese composer, regarded as one of the pioneers of electronic music and space music, and as one of the most famous producers of analog synthesizer arrangements. In addition to creating note-by-note realizations, Tomita made extensive use of the sound-design capabilities of his instrument, using synthesizers to create new sounds to accompany and enhance his electronic realizations of acoustic instruments. In 2001, Tomita collaborated with The Walt Disney Company to compose the background atmosphere music for the AquaSphere entrance at the Tokyo DisneySea theme park outside Tokyo. In 2015, a number of tracks from Tomita's album Snowflakes are Dancing were featured on the soundtrack to Heaven Knows What, an American film directed by the Safdie brothers.

RIP and domo arigato Tomita sama. Well miss you........well take it from here

[@PhantomDrums917]

I have several of his recordings on CD but nothing beats the good old fashioned snap crackle and pop of listening to it on a record player when I'm home alone in my bedroom. This is a great audio file, thank you for uploading.

Love that you include the flipping. I've always found that's an essential part of the experience.

I have enjoyed Tomita since day one. I have all his albums and still enjoy all that he has done even to this day.

Was it this album that came in a limited edition, in a puke peach 🍑 colored vinal . Not sure, its buried in my storage. If so i have it ! If my 70 year old memory serves me, he recorded part or all of this record, using a, what now would be a stone age pc computer that had something called a TARBELL SYSTEM or program. when hooked up to this you would hear a middle 3rd speaker, a TRI-REO ( i just made that word up, lol ) i actually found this cat, that had the only TARBELL program in town, practically the only computer in town ! Computer's were new and primitive back then. For this guy to have a TARBELL SYSTEM, was a real fluke, to say the least. Long story short, he wanted $

I like two things about your video, 1. Simple showing the record player, 2. The piece of grand canyon rock at top left :o)
