Saw him playing with Alva Noto years ago and it was magical. One of the greats.

Only really discovered him through the Mogwai song “Ritchie Sacramento”, but that album he released this year is gorgeous

An all time classic artist, the likes of which the scene has not even felt the full reverberations from.

Aahh shit. Masterful artist, RIP.

Irreplaceable, man was a genius. His music has always been there to help me through life, usually as an inspiration to take chances creatively as he did in every project he worked on.

Was this at Barbican? If so, I was there. I felt weirdly starstruck when he appeared onstage.

I feel really sad about this. He’ll leave a huge void in his passing.
