In memoriam

[Mr]

Reviving this thread -

I recently learned that Richard Oesterreicher died a few days ago in his native Wien.
He was behind a few cues on Europhon and a single cue on Harmonic, "Chuzpa", as well as compositions for a number of Austrian labels (WM, Weltmusik, Earl, Allround Music, Cosmos, Lion Baby Rec., etc.) - but is likely more well-known in library circles for his work with the ORF-Big Band, both as guitarist, harmonica soloist, composer and conductor.

I just found out that Geoffrey Brand (Born 1926) passed away several months ago on February 6th of this year (In GMT Time). He had done some library work for Audio BMP, and was also most notably a prolific brass band arranger and conductor.
Rest in piece... =(
