lukrecia 22 Posted July 28, 2011 Kyoto-based electronic musician Rei Harakami has died at age 40. According to music website Natalie, he died of a brain hemorrhage yesterday. Harakami made his debut in 1997, releasing a self-titled EP on Sublime Records. The following year they released Harakami’s Unrest, his first full-length album. He released seven albums over his career, along with several EPs and various remixes. Harakami performed at Fuji Rock Festival, Rising Sun Rock Festival and Sonar Sound Tokyo during his career. He was scheduled to play this year’s Summer Sonic with Akiko Yano, who he had been collaborating with as Yanokami for several years. Sad. I wouldn't consider myself a true fan of his music, but I really enjoyed his album 'Red Curb'. Rest in peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saishuu 3220 Posted July 28, 2011 Whaat. I'm far from being familiar with his music, except for a couple of remixes he did for other bands, but he seemed like a very respected guy within the music scene. May he rest in peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
