He was, for me, the greatest ambient composer of his generation (among other things).
Apparently he passed away on Tuesday due to Covid19.
Normally, 84 is considered a decent innings, but Budd's life truly was cut short in the sense that, even in his 70s and 80s, he was as prodigious as he was in his 20s and 30s, and his music as beautiful as it ever was.
NPR's obituary was a good one.
RIP Harold Budd.
