Tomita
Born in Tokyo in April 1932, Isao Tomita – whose influence was such that he became simply known as ‘Tomita’ - became one of the foremost proponents and innovators in the field of electronic music. As an interpreter of Classical music themes, he enjoyed much success and critical acclaim; as a composer of original music, his work was heard in such diverse milieu as the Japanese Olympic gymnastics team in 1956 in Melbourne, Australia, as well as for NHK, the Japanese TV network, film soundtracks and theatrical productions.
