Piotr Grudzińki, Gitarrist der Band Riverside, ist im Alter von 40 Jahren getorben.

Ich bin absolut fassungslos - der Gitarrist einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsbands, meiner Lieblingspolen, Mensch scheiße, was ist denn das? Mit 40... ich bin gerade so unfassbar traurig.

Nicht direkt ein Musiker: Allan Rouse, Chef-Tontechniker bei der EMI und als solcher verantwortlich für das Remastering der Beatles-Alben, ist tot.

Das schreibt Giles Martin auf der Beatles-Facebook-Page:

Zitat

---

It’s very sad to hear about the passing of Allan Rouse, known as the “gate-keeper” for The Beatles at Abbey Road. He looked after and cherished everything that was recorded by the band and my father all those years ago. Only Allan knew where everything was and only Allan was trusted with preserving the tapes and the legacy of the most successful band in the history of recorded music.

My father spent hours with Allan working through the tapes for The Beatles Anthology. From the outset my dad loved his deadpan humour. It was this, linked to his incomparable knowledge of the music, that made trawling through all of the tapes a pleasure for my father during the project.

When embarking on The Love show I worked with Allan very closely. It was he that developed the technique of using vari-speed to manually lock each four track generation. This enabled me to create the multi-channel mixes that we used to create the new surround mixes of The Beatles. Having Allan come to my room and react to the work I was doing was always a pleasure. His honesty in everything made me respect his opinions that were always based on his love and respect for the band.

More than anything else we will miss Allan as a friend. Our best wishes are with his wonderfully compassionate wife Fiona who cared so well for him during his illness.

Giles Martin.

Peter Lustig ist tot. Schluss mit Lustig. Traurig

Oh nein!

Gar nicht lustig.

Oh Mann, was für ein sympathischer Mensch. Von ihm hatte ich die erste interaktive CD für meine Tochter gekauft. Da konnte man auch in seinen Bauwagen klicken und in seinem Garten stöbern.

RIP Peter. :-(

vielleicht sollt man an der stelle nochmal helfen, aus der welt zu räumen, was die blöd-zeitung vor vielen jahren verzapfte, und seit dem an peter lustig hängen blieb:

Peter Lustig war kein Kinderhasser
