I play music. I do different things. And I’m inspired by seeing someone who can do it on such a high level. He was inspired by creativity. That was his fuel.”

Thank you for the extra info, @dik cashmere
54 is young, and multiple system atrophy sounds like a tough way to go.

RIP brother Sacha thank you for your contributions

Hate to hear this news. None of our lives would be what they are without his love and dedication, way before many of us were born let alone aware of his work and how it was moving us.
Let’s keep this thread updated with as much of his body of work as we can CSI, not just in his honor but because his life’s work is crucial; and putting together the people with their influence and impact on/in our lives is the work - no matter who we are - the ancestors (and those yet to come) call every one of us to, for our own healing and for our collective healing.
