Topic: Piotr Grudzinski R I P

The modern prog scene lost one its best and most creative musicians last Sunday. Piotr Grudzinski was guitarist with Polish prog rock band, Riverside. Piotr was most well known for his atmospheric guitar work and ability to create musical soundscapes with his dreamy solos and was very much a "feel" player. He was in his prime as a player and the band were at the height of their popularity and were becoming one of the biggest names on the scene. Piotr passed away aged 40, without warning, and while seemingly in good health. A sad, sad day for music.

Re: Piotr Grudzinski R I P

A sad day indeed. He was probably best described as a modern day David Gilmour - I always describe Riverside as being a Heavy Metal Pink Floyd - a very economical player.
Riverside were also one of the best live bands out there.
