Newbie

Hello to the group,

It's nice to know people have actally heard of Mr Tomita. Most people
I know just shrug and ask Who?

I think I got my first Tomita album in 1983, 84. Bermuda Triangle.
Still my favourite album, and apparently the only one I can't get on
CD in the UK. The little vocoder chant that leads into track 4 or
maybe 5 (difficult to tell on tape) sends a thrill down my spine.

I knew someone once who played Viola for Scottish ballet, and said
they had been sampled once for Tomita. Wether true or not he was much
admired for a time.

No flames please. I know nought about music, but I adore Mr Tomita.

Good luck to the group

Del

 

Hello Del,

Good to have you here!

The vocoder piece (called 'Vocoder'!) on Bermuda Triangle is actually at the
end of the whole album. Check out the website for a transcription of what's
being said.

Thanks for the welcome,

A nice group.

I meant the vocoderer like chant introducing track four ( the giant pyramid) Just a short little bitty of I think was vocoder, though may be wrong. Ididn't realise the end of Bermuda Triangle was vocoder stuff at all. All those organic sounding snuffly, wheezes. Sound a lot like sounds used in theDr Who theme. I've got an old tape of Bermuda Triangle perhaps it has beenupdated.
