By coincidence, I was listening to his Miners' Hymns just today, not knowing that he'd died.

A composer I only discovered last year and was just discovering his work. Sad loss at an early age

Can't say I've ever heard of him, so I'll give him a listen.

Sad news indeed. That album is seriously under-rated. He may not have been a household name but you only have to read the tributes from contemporaries such as Olafur Arnalds to see how highly he was regarded.

He did the score for Arrival, if you've seen that.

Oh, how very sad. I loved his Orphée album and much of his other work.
