"Best known for his roles in something something..... and Casino Royale" ???

Had to google who he was in Casino Royale. He plays an uncredited stockbroker in one scene at the start of the movie and his entire total screentime is 10 seconds.


But RIP.

French house artist Kavinsky has died, aged 50.

The producer, real name Vincent Belorgey, was found dead at his home in Paris, police confirmed today.
Inspired by the French house scene of the 2000s, Kavinsky's productions spanned synthwave to electropop, collaborating with the likes of Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel and The Weeknd.

His 2010 track 'Nightcall' shot him to global success, landing a feature in American drama film Drive. In 2024, following his return to music after a hiatus, Kavinsky performed at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris.

Yeah, I also thought of that KGB series but this seems to be a soapie with the same name.

Pioneering synthesist and composer Patrick Gleeson has died aged 91.

While working as an English professor at San Francisco State University in the '60s, Gleeson began experimenting on an early Buchla synth at the San Francisco Tape Music Center. In 1968, he worked on a Moog III modular synthesiser, establishing Different Fur recording studio alongside John Viera.

Gleeson rose to prominence for his work with jazz musician Herbie Hancock, producing his 1972 album 'Crossings' and the 1973-released 'Sextant'; going on to tour alongside Hancock, Gleeson helped to popularise the use of synthesisers in a live setting.

Working as a producer, engineer and composer, Gleeson would go on to collaborate with several high-profile musicians, including Devo on their 1978 album 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!' as well as Brian Eno and David Byrne on their collaborative album 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts', released in 1980.

In 1976, Gleeson released his first solo album, 'Beyond the Sun', which earned him a nomination for "Best Engineered Classical Recording" at the 1977 GRAMMY Awards.

Throughout the '70s and '80s, Gleeson helped to develop a number of film and TV scores, including Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now, Curtis Hanson's The Bedroom Window, and Knots Landing, the off-shoot of US soap opera Dallas.
