Rest in Power. A friend of mines passed recently. He went missing around the beginning of the year and I believe his family just found his body recently. I did some organizing work with him in the past but I haven't talked to him in person for a couple of years now.

I stumbled upon a soundcloud that I didn't even know he had. I know he used to freestyle often but didn't realize he actually did a song. He sounds like he also used a pitch corrector or something like that for this because his voice is way deeper than in this song.

Thanks for the condolences. I hope someone organizes a memorial soon that I can attend. I'm usually horrible at funerals but I'll force myself to go this time.

Dmitry Svirgunov (Dima Nova)



"During a night walk over the springtime ice on the Volga River, music producer Dmitry Svirgunov (best known as Dima Nova, one of the artists behind the popular synth-pop group Cream Soda) fell through the ice crust, together with four friends.

The tragic incident occurred in the village of Dievo-Gorodishche, in Russia’s Yaroslavl region.

The 34-year old musician, his 25-year-old brother Roman Svirgunov, and their 28-year-old friend Georgy Kiselev were all drawn under the ice by the powerful current, and were considered missing. Although two other people had been rescued, one of them died later, in the ambulance."

A real ****ing shame, I've been listening to both Cream Soda and Locked Club for years and really trying to get my friends into the former.

I kow nothing about this guy, or that band, but that is so tragic. What a way to go. RIP

Literally, moments ago, I was organizing my downloads of Gentle Giant while reading some descriptions of their albums on Wikipedia. On a whim I was checking the bios of some of the band members (also on Wiki) and when I clicked on the Wiki article for Ray Shulman read that he just passed away yesterday and it had just made the news today!

Gentle Giant's Ray Shulman dead at 73

Gentle Giant have confirmed via social media the death of co-founding bassist and composer Ray Shulman. Elder brother Derek posted on Facebook, "I was with him until the end as he bravely battled a long illness. At least I know he is now at peace."

Born in 1949, Ray was the youngest of the Shulman brothers and, along with siblings Derek and Phil, was a founder member of Simon Dupree And The Big Sound. In 1970, the brothers formed Gentle Giant along with guitarist Gary Green, keyboard player Kerry Minnear and drummer Martin Smith.
