At some point in 2010 SDM will get all three of these albums back into print as CDs through CD Baby, as part of a larger effort to make available all of Gregory's music, but for now this will allow people to experience his creativity for free.

Amidst the turmoil and sorrow of his death, I'd like to say that it was very peaceful and quiet at his end, which was a relief after all the physical struggle of the last few weeks. It was clear to everyone around him during the afternoon that it would be sometime that night, so his family convened to be with him. His wife was at his side when the final breath was taken.

I do not yet know exactly what sort of memorial there will be, or when / where it will be held. But something appropriate to Greg's life and beliefs will be organized soon. I will pass on that information when I have it.

Thanks to all that contacted the family through me and through Systems Theory to express hope, support, sympathy, wishes for a speeding passing, etc. That various branches of the progressive music community, and those that he worked with closely on recent programming projects, had been in touch with me meant a great a deal to Greg. Hundreds of emails, text messages and comments were posted to various forums in his final weeks, and that he was so well-regarded and admired means a great deal to me personally as his best friend of 32 years.

In the midst of the sadness of his passing, let me add a bright note. I have gained access to Greg's pair of music computers (named "Fripp" and "Eno" after two stellar musicians he admired). Everything that I could have hoped to find musically was there -- the masters for his two OOP CDs were there, plus several unreleased completed projects, some long-forgotten projects, and new tunes earmarked for both solo, Systems Theory and ViolinCyndee. So there will be new music under his name in the next year or so, as well as the re-release of the wonderful "The Dark Within The Dark" (2001) and "Gecko Highway" (2005) albums.

Gregory Michael Amov, b. Nov 6th 1959, d. Nov 3rd 2009, RIP.

If all goes well, Greg will be released later today to go home from LACUSC county general hospital. He will be evaluated next week to determine if palliative radiation therapy might alleviate some of his symptoms and retard the growth of the cancer.

With the knowledge that this is a terminal condition, Greg and Steven plan on working rapidly to catalog all the solo material available for future Greg Amov solo albums, and see what Systems Theory material he was working on is ready to be passed over to Mike Dickson.]]> http://systemstheory.net/news.html#11 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700 cinematic ambient space rock - Systems Theory - News http://systemstheory.net/news.html#13 http://systemstheory.net/news.html#13 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700 cinematic ambient space rock - Systems Theory - News
