We lost the great Gary Todd Sylvester this week. At long last his suffering is over. We in the LAFMS and so many others in the sound community owe him unending gratitude for advancing the legacy of experimental music in the second half of the 20th century. The tragedy of his end breaks my heart. Thank you Gary for being exactly who you were. And thank you Michael Intriere for your vigilance and dedication to Gary these past 20 years.
