Arnuphis Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Legendary C64 SID music composer has passed away at the age of 52. Gone way too young. His music was the soundtrack to so many classics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=m_Wnt58xeXM Rest In Peace. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Very sad. He was expected at BIT Live Bergen (Norway) on October 13, but as Chris Abbott wrote "his illness appeared to be stable and he was looking forward to performing, but he had a turn for the worse". :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Such a shame. While there were many talented SID composers, Ben - along with Martin Galway - are the two names that immediately spring to mind when I think about C64 music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) RIP, a true legend - not only in the C64 world, he has also wrote heaps of marvelous music for Amstrad/Sinclair machines. Edited October 4, 2018 by youxia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Oh, man. Losing Ben is a huge loss across the board. Amazing talent gone from the world but he has left us with a fantastic legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dragon Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 A fundraiser for his family has been set up to create a musical legacy in order to try and help create a fund to support young musicians in his name: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/ben-daglish-legacy-fundraiser I don't do Social Networking to the degree others do, but please if you could, could people help spread this link where ever possible?. Many thanks. I am sure Bens Family would very much appreciate your kindness in doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
