Subject: Trons in New Age

From: "charel196" <charel196@...>

Just to show that there are many other appearances of trons in genres
other than prog...in new age music for examples there are Richard
Burmer(tron,Chamberlin),early Kitaro,Gandalf,(are
T.Dream,Jarre,Synergy considered new age?) Jazz users include Herbie
Hancock(on the Crossings and Sextant albums),Jan Hammer(MK5),Return
To Forever(Gayle Moran used a 400 with her own voice on it).I wonder
about classical music(Tomita does classical with trons but is he
considered truely "classical" or electronic).I have seen European
conductor James Last mentioned as a tron user/owner but know nothing
of him.You might think that trons would be a cool addition to a full
orchestra to help with choral parts etc.
