Isao Tomita's recordings sent the Western classical tradition hurtling into the space age. An early adopter of the Moog synthesizer, the Japanese musician is best known for his electronic arrangements of the work of composers like Claude Debussy, Gustav Holst, and Modest Mussorgsky. Meticulously adapting iconic scores for a battery of analog and digital machines, he renders familiar themes in ways that sound both new and strangely timeless, as stringlike sounds give way to all manner of spine-tinglingly alien timbres. If the Northern Lights were audible, they'd probably sound a lot like Tomita.
