Title: Some very sad news
Post by: folderol on July 24, 2011, 04:56:02 PM
Alan (Cal) Calvin, who developed the yoshimi branch of ZynAddSubFX, passed away on the 2nd July after several years battling with cancer. I always admired his courage and tenacity and will miss him greatly as a friend as well as a very creative developer.

This whole creative community thing resonates in a way that completely eclipses critics of electronic music, digital audio, and web-based collaboration. Technical and artistic interaction on the web demonstrates amazing potential for development, in the craft, and in personal relationships of like-minded individuals.

Sorry to hear about the demise of your friend, Will.
