I didn't know the man personally, but it seemed that everything of his that I saw, read or heard was worthwhile, and he seems to have touched a number of people profoundly in his (too) short time on the planet. Richard was a member of the KC forum, and posted about his live performances with Jordan Rudess in early 2011. A pic from that show here:  RIP, Richard, and thanks for sharing your gifts. Notification of his passing on the website he shared with his wife, Caroline Meyers, for those that knew him... my condolences.

Sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family. What was his nick here on KC?
Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker

He programed the huge modular synth for Dream Theater's "Tribute to Pink Floyd" concert(s). There's a video on youtube showing Jordan Ruddess playing the thing in the London O2 Arena, programmed by the late composer. RIP, my condolences to his family
Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands

Wow...really sorry to hear this. He was a good man, and his educational videos are excellent.

Bit of a shocker, especially for those here in Berkeley at Buchla Labs (not my employer but I have a couple of friends there). My condolences to friends and family. He left us way too soon.
