#6Sad news. I love his work with Alva Noto, the blend of experimental piano with raw electronic sounds and glitches is really something special: https://spotify.link/2LzLYmBKFyb.
I was lucky enough to see them play together a couple of times and it was spellbinding. His album “async” is a favourite too. I’ll have to dig more into his back catalogue.

I like Takahashi's music a lot and I just learned through your comment about his passing. This day got sader out of nowhere

Haruomi Hosono became the only member of YMO, just like his grandfather who was the only Japanese survivor of the Titanic.
