Matt just heard on the news that his death was suicide. No other info given.
He was something to watch though. Because of him our high school had a synthesizer music class and I fiddled around with one of the first mini-Moog synths. so much fun!

The big monstrosity behind him in the pic is "the wall" which was the prototype for all Moog synthesizers. ARP also used it for ideas for their line but changed just enough to not infringe on any patents.
Keith used that big old thing even though he could have gotten more modern, compact models from Moog.
I think that it should end up in a museum setting. Possibly with Moog.
I saw that the police are investigating his death as a suicide. The info as it stands is that he was diagnosed with an undisclosed condition that would not allow him to play anymore and then he was found with a single gunshot wound to the head.

71.....excellent run. A gunshot to the brain pan, sounds like another charmed life.
