Name: Lance Lenehan Home Page:http://www.soundscapemusic.com Member Since: Aug 31, 2002 Rank: 58 Rated 17 releases, average: 4.35 Location: Australia Profile: Composer and fan of electronic music
One of the pioneers of electronic music. Most of his recordings are electronic interpretations of music by classical composers. He was originally inspired by Switched-On-Bach creator Walter Carlos, and produced his first album in 1974, Snowflakes are Dancing, featuring music by Claude Debussy.
His album notes typically included impressive equipment lists, including the massive Roland System 700 synthesizer, and numerous Moog modular synthesizer systems such as the IIIp and System 35.
Tomita is still active to this day, producing mainly classical music for events, films, and TV. His spectacular 'Sound Cloud' performances, where he is usually supsended in a pyramid above the audience, have been performed many times over the years around the world and feature music from all his past releases.
As an intersting aside, for those of you that grew up in the 60's and 70's, Tomita was also the composer of the background music for the classic anime TV series 'Kimba the White Lion'.
