I only learned recently that on May 5th synthesist Isao Tomita passed away at the age of 84. Both synthtopia and the syndicated radio show, "Echoes" paid a tribute to this unique artist/composer. I must admit I was only familiar with the work that is linked below. It was always one of my ambient favorites, a work that always invoked a sense of nostalgia. In part because a segment of this track was used as a theme song for a radio show I used to listen to ages and ages ago that, surprisingly, I cannot for the life of me remember the name of. If you know it, let me know. I've since listened to more of his work and he what he created synthetically possesses a very organic quality. His creative force will be missed.
