Isao Tomita http://www.isaotomita.net/images/photo/tomi01.jpg
Composer and synthesizer player. Born in Tokyo. A graduate of Keio University, he begain composing while still a student. One of the first to recognise the potential of the synthesizer, he began to write electronic arrangements of well-known classical music. His album Tsuki no Hikari (1974, released in the US as Snowflakes are Dancing), which included a version of Debussy's Clair de Lune, was nominated for a Grammy Award. Tomita has done similar arrangements of works such as Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Stravinsky's The Firebird, and Holst's The Planets, contributing greatly to the acceptance of the synthesizer and of electronic music as a performance medium.

but i still prefer more jean jacques perrey or oscar sala if we're talking about older synth material...
