VA Expo '70 - Multiplex sounds for Global Vision, Japan

 





Surprisingly this is listed in discogs.  Another beautiful, unusual, and well worth hearing find from my friends, god bless them. It's a little all over the place but here and there has wonderful moments. By that I mean there is a mix of folk, ssw, orchestral arrangements, synths stuff, etc. The whole was composed by the well known Tomita, who I think I could say is best known for his synthesizer versions of classical stuff, like a Japanese version of Wendy / Walter Carlos. A lot of acoustic guitar work too.

The first track starts off beautifully but then deteriorates:



Hopefully the internet archive works for that piece so you can sample it out. As one might expect it doesn't appear on youtube, at least not yet.

Have a listen and see what you think though.

  2. This looks like music that was made for the Osaka World Expo in 1970 which I'm absolutely wowed by because the Osaka Expo in happening next year & I plan on going. The fact that Tomita Composed this trips me out even more! Love his work. I can't wait to give this a listen & I will be playing it in my headphones during the Osaka 2025 World Expo. Thank you very much, The timing couldn't have been better.
