Salut l'artiste...

This is very sad news. I’m glad I was able to have a brief interaction with him last year.

dma-sc.bsky.social•20 days ago

Wow, quite unexpected, considering he was still talking about projects last year. 😯

He proudly linked to this grand remastering of one of his most beloved soundtracks on one of my Dune videos - so I felt connected to him and feel like he was getting a kick out of how much fans still love his music https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/album/dune-spice-opera-2024-remaster-lp

nooooooooo

He was a legend for sure, with some kickass soundtracks to his name; he will very much be missed. My condolences to his family, and may he rest in peace.

Shit sucks, man.

It's oddly fitting cuz I've been listening to his MegaRace and Dune soundtracks again lately, and likewise it reminds me of how awesome it was that he uploaded the full version of one of the 3DO MegaRace arranges last year; I couldn't stop listening to it.

lanceboyle94.bsky.social•20 days ago

So fucking good; it seemed he had finally found (or at least recreated) the originals for the 3DO MegaRace music, but sadly he never posted more after that; sadly with these news I imagine he wasn't in the state to do so...

I need to re-upload the original mono mix of this. I tried doing some stereo separation but I cringe when I hear it now, lol.

neoscottie.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh, I'm so sad to hear this. His music has always been a huge inspiration!! RIP to a legend, gone far too soon. 😢

What horrible news. Rest in peace, Stéphane, you made my childhood better.

Just mid-December he was sending bandcamp messages about an upcoming album...

vgdensetsu.bsky.social•20 days ago

I still frequently listen to some of the music he composed for Lost Eden.

This OST is so good and very underrated. Oh man, sad to hear.

damienmcferran.bsky.social•19 days ago

That piece of music lives rent-free in my head. It's a masterpiece.

vgdensetsu.bsky.social•20 days ago

Just in case: this was also confirmed by his friend Pierre Estève (via MO5 president Philippe Dubois), with whom he had co-composed the music for Atlantis.

This on repeat........ any day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Q_UO6Hp7U&list=RDo-Q_UO6Hp7U&index=4

We so desperately wanted to interview him when we covered the music of KGB but it sadly didn’t time out. His music across the board was powerful and memorable. https://pixelatedaudio.com/kgb/

He will be missed. Thanks for letting us know @vgdensetsu.bsky.social

atmcashpoint.bsky.social•20 days ago

Far too young. RIP. :(

Horrible to hear this. Thoughts are with his family and loved ones
