It's with a heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of Roli Mosimann.
Roli died at 2:15am this morning in hospital in Wroclaw, Poland, from lung cancer.
Roli was my partner in my project Wiseblood. We released the album Dirtdish, the EP PTTM and the 12" single 'Motorslug' and played live extensively.
I was drawn to working with him after seeing his incredible drum skills in Swans. Roli was also acclaimed for producing the Swiss band Young Gods and working with JoJo Meyer, Faith No More, That Petrol Emotion, Machines of Loving Grace, The The and many others. He was a questing musician and a sonic sculptor. He was also a great guy, and, as his first wife Alexa said, “lover of women, wine and song..”
My heart goes out to his family and those whose lives he touched.
RIP Roli Mosimann 11.07.1955 – 09.15.2024
