He was even commenting on gear for the first time in a while just a little bit ago. These things can turn very fast. My feeling is that he didn't have enough time to pass through the stages of grief, given that it was only discovered in early July. Just over three months ago. I saw the messages, too, and really did hope that the treatment would take hold. But it was the sort of hope where a little voice in the back of your head points to the statistics. The most upsetting for me is his little boy. He's too young to be able to remember his dad as time passes. He'll only have photos and videos to look back on. We remember Denis and Gert, as do their loved ones, but little Rowan wasn't given that privilege. - Peter From joost at joostschuttelaar.nl Fri Oct 10 20:49:28 2025 From: joost at joostschuttelaar.nl (Joost Schuttelaar) Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 20:49:28 +0200 Subject: Andy Tarpinian In-Reply-To: <69D8E292-D45F-49B7-9975-478691131E18@deadmengods.com> References: <7CA7CDBE-5825-432A-BDF9-2C75238611F4@outlook.com> <69D8E292-D45F-49B7-9975-478691131E18@deadmengods.com> Message-ID: <9D832F48-C4CF-461F-8BF4-662DB5D70D4A@joostschuttelaar.nl> Hey everyone, such sad news. Some pictures from NYE 2006-2007? Got out of touch the last years. So was shocked to hear he passed away. Besides being really good at his stuff (art / music), he was also such a calm and generous guy. Crashed on his couch in NYC a few times. Good memories. Damn guys, take care of each other. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am sad and kind of speechless about the news to be sincere. I had the chance to be able to meet him once around 2007/2008, at this time I could finally tell him in the real world how I see/ feel about Andy Tarpinian? music which was so good (imo) ? As Gert, talking to him face to face after exchanging music compositions and all types of emails about our passion for music was really an experience of wisdom. I did not know him personally as much as some of you guys but he was in my opinion a very good soul / man, really respectful and kind. His music was and will remain as something special to me, reflecting his soul I guess, a kind of magic, his stuff could really translate directlyto my mind.. It s not my emotion talking now but I guess he was a master of his kind, making questioning yourself : ? How an artist can paint with sounds and make you dream while listening music ??. Andy was good like that (and I told him with respect!) For a recall (Im not 100% sure tho) during couple of RPM challenges, us barians, we were participating with only 1 song each per year while Andy was making album(s) ..and those were always a blast of work and production (imo) ... https://soundcloud.com/modulargrey? Modular Grey soundcloud.com I am felling that It's a shame that he was living in US so far from us (Europeans) and not closer to The Netherlands so we could be able to see each other more often I guess and have all types of discussions or Music-Jams about everything and nothing. Please keep in mind this event reminds me that he was/is not the only one in Music-bar to have such talent, even if we are all different ;) But still, Andy'music was always to my taste a Level up of Inspirations for Quality, Style and Work ? his compostions and phrasings were amazing (imo), the quality of his productions were just beautiful ? (You know when it fells easy to do the trick when actually it is not ?) I hope his young child is as sensitive and talented as him and therefore will be able to grow up next to his dad with all these damn good songs that Andy produced for all those years.. So today, it is a sad day for me for sure cause I am really convinced ? the world really lost a great artist recently (a real one)? But who knows there is maybe a Music-Bar' paradise up there and we ll meet again ?.? While waiting ? Please take care of yourself Barian?friends. And make music in / for your dimension(s) ;-P Romain > On 10 Oct 2025, at 19:31, Peter Korsten via music-bar wrote: > > Hey Tony, > >> I was following it on Facebook, and it seemed like he had made a turn for the better.

I?m not sure what she needs, but I?m pretty sure Andy would be happy knowing that the music-bar is looking out for Rowan and Brooke in this regard. There is a shiva (7 days of mourning) occurring for Andy, so it would be an appropriate time to reach out to his family and offer our help. If anyone is interested and has Facebook, please reach out to her and see what can be done. I?m sure Rowan would benefit from having someone make informed decisions on his part, vis a vis Andy?s heirloom musical instruments. j. ? Jay Vaughan >
