This is Paul Shillito‘s Tomita-style version of Stravinsky’s The Rite Of Spring Introduction.
Shillito calls this his classitonic style – influenced by the electronic interpretations of classical music done by Isao Tomita and Wendy Carlos in the late 60’s and 70’s.
He plans a complete version of The Rite Of Spring.
Soft synths used on this included the Arturia Minimoog V2, Arturia Moog Modular, Arturia Jupiter 8V, Arturia Yamaha CS80V and soundtoys effects.

Stravinsky – The Rite of Spring – Introduction.
Done in my Classitronic style, Classitronic is what I call electronic classical music with my style being heavily influenced by Isao Tomita.
This is the first part of the classic Stravinsky ballet The Rite of Spring which caused a near riot when it was premiered in Paris on May 29th 1913.
The rest of this work is to follow, so watch this space 🙂
The Rite is not an opera
Very nicely done and creatively "synth-y" where Tomita tends to emulate the traditional instruments involved more closely. Its a good direction to take with such an abstract work. I hope you'll be able to manage the entire thing. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

Quite right, it was a mistake on my part calling it an opera when it is a ballet, mistake now rectified.
