Harold Budd, the iconic avant-garde ambient composer, has died aged 84 due to COVID-19, Rolling Stone reports. He frequently collaborated with Brian Eno, and The Cocteau Twins' guitarist Robin Guthrie, as well as XTC’s Andy Partridge, Ultravox’s John Foxx, Public Image Ltd’s Jah Wobble, and more. Over the past 40 years, Budd has released dozens of albums in a wide range of genres, including experimental piano, avant-garde minimalism, dream pop, and beyond.

Asteroid's full name, just as the singer's, is "Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno”, but it's "Eno" for friends (of music and space), and much prettier than it's original name “81948 (2000 OM69)”. Apart from being honored by the Southwest Research Institute, the International Astronomical Union and the Minor Planet […]
