Harold Budd was swept away by the Covid 19 on December 8, 2020. He was 84 years old.
I had discovered him through his collaboration with the members of the Cocteau Twins in the magnificent "The Moon & The Melodies" in 1986. He introduced me to ambient music.
He delighted me through his numerous collaborations with Eno of course but also John Foxx, Louis Gordon, Theo Travis, Andy Partridge and Robin Guthrie...
