I don't know if any news have been published in English, but here's a short article from Finnish music-media Rumba:

>>72140252
Dude, what the fuck? You're lying.

>>72140322
A few people are posting about it on twitter, looks pretty official

:(

>>72140334
FUCK!

Jesus Christ.
Was supposed to see him play live in the summer.

Has it been announced what he died of yet? Seems very sudden.

FACT just confirmed as well.

RIP, thanks for the great noise. Kesto shapped my views on experimental music a lot.

>>72140791
Cancer, it seems.

what the fuck.

RIP.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Pan Sonic was one of the very few experimental electronic bands that stood out and made some truly unique music. This is a really sad loss.

>>72140806
>Cancer
Where'd you hear that?

>>72141617
I remember reading it on the FACT article but double-checking they don't mention the cause. Weird.

Incredibly sad news. Was one of the first artists that started getting me into more experimental stuff.

>>72141638
I just remember that FACT got his age wrong in their article. I'm pretty sure the reason was more sudden as he was supposed to play shows this summer.

>You'll never get to see Mika Vainio live
feels bad

>>72141757
I saw him live now I can see him dead

>>72140252
>>72140252
more like mika vainaa now xd

vainaa means deceased / dead. its a wordplay.

FUUUUCK
I was supposed to have seen him live, but concert was cancelled due to personal reasons. Venue director said it was because Mika was in a psychiatric ward on account of a depression... never thought it would end up like this :(

>Venue director said it was because Mika was in a psychiatric ward on account of a depression
Assuming your not bullshitting, I think it's a safe to assume how he died

>>72141943
>bullshitting
not at all, concert was due 3 months ago i think. Maybe the event manager dude was in the wrong, just hearing about how he might have had cancer

>>72141922
>>72141988
HS says it was an accident on a holiday trip to France. http://www.hs.fi/kulttuuri/art-2000005170758.html

:(

I guess he must've known it was coming, the recent Pan Sonic album was announced as the final one

RIP my dude, keep it minimal

>>72142043
Guess I can't throw that hunch out the window yet, although it breaks my heart to think that he might've killed himself

fucking rip

this is terribly sad.

lepää rauhassa mika.

>>72141883
actually laughed out loud. would have been better without the explanation though let the ameriburgers get the joke themselves t. finnanon

>>72144062
This

This is so sad, he was relatively young and still had the potential to make great music. It makes me genuinely upset.
I don't know how his music managed to be so good despite the simplicity of the sounds he used. I don't think we will be ever able replicate this.
Kiitos for the music Mika, lepää rauhassa.

I didn't ask for these feels.

So sad, he made one of the most amazing abrasive electronic music I've ever heard. Rip.

This honestly hits me harder than David Bowie's passing

>>72147722
I feel the same. Probably harder than any of the deaths of musicians in the last few years.

>>72147722
>>72147836
Bowie was old so him dying was to be expected.

Vainio's death came completely out of the blue.

>>72141883
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


;___; R.I.P though...

he literally never had a bad project

>>72151047
I remember Sean saying in their AMA that when they were playing with Pan Sonic once, one of their monitors fell off its stand and on to Ae's mixer and they just laughed about it.
