The composer Lars-Gunnar Bodin passed away at the age of 85. Bodin was one of the pioneers of the Swedish sound art scene together with people like Åke Hodell, Bengt Emil Johnson, and Öyvind Fahlström.

Franco Battiato passed away at the age of 76. One of the real electronic experimenter of the Italian pop panorama, in my opinion. Electic artist and an excellent musician.

Wrote some very hard and weird experimental records as well as some of the best pop songs ever, also for other singers, like Alice.

He was a mystic, often radically changing interests and obsessions.

I heard this earlier. Very sad, as he was certainly an interesting character. It was fun watching him run for president a few years ago.

he's always remembered for all the malware he found on my floppy discs back in the day.

Damn...that's awful. Such an unfathomably crucial force and platform for experimental music. RIP.

Really awful news! Saw him live many times in the last 25 years or so. With Jim O'Rourke and Fennesz or with Stephen O'Malley as ktl, which were one of the loudest and most intense concerts I ever witnessed.

My favourite laptop noise...whatever track:
