RIP Daniel Hansson of Elektron, father of Machinedrum, Monomachine and SidStation


Very sad news from Sweden: Daniel Hansson, one of the founders of Elektron, who make the coolest, best looking and most imaginative synths and drum machines in the world, died in a car accident on 19th August. Details on the Elektron site including where to send messages, and a nice note at Die Monster. (Thanks, Mikael and Brandon, pic via Matrix)

Not fair. Daniel, thanks for the brilliant instruments. Hope you can hear every one of 'em, wherever you are!

I love my machinedrum and sidstation. Thank you, Daniel.
