Kieran aka dblue a fellow friend and Renoise member passed away

I didn’t know him personally, only from here on the Renoise forum. At least, I think so – you never really know for sure. In any case, I wasn’t aware of any of his aliases. But since @taktik suggested we should share our memories of him…

I think we got into a few heated discussions here on the forum. The last one I remember was this post of him, during one of my ‘piano roll campaigns’. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :wink:

I was one of the few to stand up against many here on the forum, and through my efforts here, I ultimately inspired someone to give us a brilliant Renoise piano roll extension to enhance Renoise. (Shout-out to @dufte) And that fills me with pride! I’m sure many here on the forum don’t like me because of this, and because of my very direct and sometimes brusque manner, but I’ve spent almost my whole life standing alone against the crowd, and I’ve always stood my ground. And for that, I’ve been respected. Often hated too, but always respected! In today’s society, this is unfortunately often the price innovators and free thinkers have to pay.

On dblue
I don’t know whether he liked me or didn’t like me, or whether I was just another run-of-the-mill forum troll to him. (I suspect the latter.) I can’t really say that I loved him, but I always respected him! And in my world, that’s what counts!

Rest in peace, and really shake up the tracker heaven!
