RIP Brian Wilson

Pitchfork notes:

Brian Wilson, the co-founder and primary songwriter of the Beach Boys, has died, his family announced. While an official cause of death was not disclosed, the beloved musical auteur, who helped pioneer the studio-as-instrument, influencing generations of musicians in pop and beyond, was revealed in early 2024 to be living with a neurocognitive disorder akin to dementia. Wilson was 82 years old.

“We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” his family wrote in a statement shared on Wilson’s official Facebook. “We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy.”

Every day when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being ME.

His work with the Beach Boys reshaped music forever. The way he layered sound in the studio was revolutionary. Even in simple mobile games like Geometry Dash Lite, you can feel his influence—music driving emotion, rhythm guiding experience. Rest in peace, Brian. Love and mercy, always.
