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... =(

2 significant library music composers especially from KPM and Bruton.

I was saddened to learn that Herbie Flowers died a few days ago:

Interesting that they don't mention his career in the library industry, besides just saying "session work" -- Production music is still the hidden dimension, the music most people don't talk about.

Teddy Lasry, the French composer and arranger for the library, passed away last May. A huge loss, he was one of the composers who introduced me to the world of the library. Rest in Peace, Lasry.
