Of course no one cares about the Black man

Well, these deaths hit hard.

Frederic Rzewski (just saw him in 2017 with Musica Elettronica Viva and solo)

and

Peter Zinovieff (influential engineer: EMS studios introducing the VCS3 synthesizer to lots of major rock bands).

When I saw these, it showed that they died on the same day - today -
but seconds later it showed Zinovieff dying three days ago.

Both people very important to their professions.

RIP. A wonderful musician who provided imaginative links between different things I love.

rostasi, what by Rzewski would you recommend if one wants to hear aspects of his work other than The People United Will Never Be Defeated? That one was not for me.

I figured Hassell to be about a decade younger for some reason. RIP to a real one.

There may be that rare moment when I'm pretty confident knowing what the other person likes and dislikes,
but generally, I try not to make recommendations. My suggestion is to do the exploration yourself thru YouTube, Spotify, etc.
