A giant in his field yes, but my ear just can't accommodate those semi semi tones.

What can I say?

Does everyone die? I mean, really? No matter what you do?

Yes, but not everyone gets a thread on how they lived. That's what these threads are about.

Listened to an hour of Passages this morning while making some resources... truly fantastic music. RIP Ravi.

A great musician, definitely, made the sitar more popular in the west.
But the first thing I thought when I heard the news was: Oh, was he still alive?

As I recall, you were fond of the Qatsi movies. Philip Glass got a lot of good material (influence?) from RS.
