RIP Henryk Gorecki

[jhonny]

One of my favourite composers, really sad that he's died. Symphony of Sorrowful Songs is an absolutely amazing piece of music.

I've provided some links to it below:

Oh what the hell. This sucks. I love his third symphony, listened to it countless times.

 

I'll spin it again in his honor.

[Dan C]

Shit.

 

This is not good news at all.

Rest in Peace

Just knocking together a mix to sleep to right now and I'd put the first and third movements of his Olden Style Pieces on there just before I read this. RIP.

Him dying is the one thing that could possibly make his music sadder than it already is.

Never liked the guy's music but he was a pretty important figure. Quite a loss for the contemporary art world.

[Guest Smuckers]

'lento - sostenuto tranquillo ma cantabile' is quite possibly my favourite piece of music; intensely moving. rip in peace.

[jhonny]

Am I the only one who sometimes hears Gorecki style chords and chord progressions when listening to Autechre?

[Braintree]

Sad news indeed.

 

I actually sampled one of his pieces for the last project 168.

 

R.I.P.

[Redruth]

Holy holy shit, this is incredible. RIP, good man. It's a pity I'm listening to your music only after your death.
