clifford_thornton Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) According to the internet, German instrument-maker and improviser Hans Reichel has died at age 62. I don't know his music well (other than a couple of early FMP LPs) but he is a fascinating character and he will certainly be missed. RIP. Edit: it's official.

B. Clugston Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Sorry to see that. I have one of his daxophone albums--he made quite an extaordinary number of sounds from them. I didn't realize he designed typefaces as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FF_Dax Quote
mikeweil Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Geez - this will be a hard winter season ... I saw him live many years ago - way out, but he was being so sincere and authentic ... it took a lot of courage to play like that, and he had it. People like him were rather substantial in encouraging me to go my own way, although I went in a totally different direction. R.I.P. Hans ... Quote
mikeweil Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Go visit his website http://www.daxo.de/ - one of the funniest webistes to go - I sincerely hope it will stay around. Quote
