Saturday Synth Porn: A moody shot of a Moog III modular synthesizer, owned by Isao Tomita.
Tomita is best known for his ‘classitronica’ works of the 70’s, classical works arranged for synthesizers and electronic keyboards.

The last time I saw or heard anything of Tomita was when he was suspended in a Casio pyramid, performing “Firebird” live. Its no small thing to translate the classics for synthesizer, but its a shame he hasn’t done anything public again for so long. He brought a refined touch to his work that few have been able to emulate.
this is what i want moog to build. the tone quality is still superior.
I remember a section of “The Cranes are Flying” appearing on a flexible vinyl disk in an American “Keyboard” magazine. I agree, Tomita was one of a kind and we may never see his like again.
