FAQ



Who is Tomita?

Isao Tomita is a Japanese synthesizer musician who achieved fame in the 1970s with his electronic music versions of classical pieces. You can find out more about Tomita at www.tomita.org, the Tomita "Sound Creature" Fansite maintained by John Breslin (Cloud) and Ben Ward, or you can just read his biography for an overview.

Where can I get "Bermuda Triangle", "Dawn Chorus", "Daphnis et Chloé" etc.?

These albums are quite hard to get outside Japan, but I'd recommend you try Music Express (where I got Bermuda), CD Banzai!, or Mundo for those hard-to-get releases. Other music suppliers are listed on the links page. Please feel free to add to this.

What does the Tarbell message on the "Bermuda Triangle" album decode to?

The answer can be found on the Bermuda Triangle page, under "A Coded Message".

'''I have been collecting the albums in Tomita's recent Dolby Surround series, but I noticed that there is no album corresponding to the letter A in the TOMITA name. Am I missing one?'''

There was no sixth album in this series, which is strange since the letters on the edges of the CDs seem to have been put there to form the word TOMITA. For more details on this series, check out the Dolby Surround section.
