In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we share with the community the recent passing of our dear colleague Ma Yir (Mark Reinheimer https://emardesign.com/). He produced over 140 patches for livestreams, all of which are archived on YouTube. Ma Yir’s patches frequently used interesting hardware like The Pipe or wonderful Buchla equipment. Always creative, sometimes droney and sometimes chitinous and scurrying, he was a true synthesist with a soft spot for calm and ritualistic polyrhythms.
Please help us celebrate his work by checking out the EMS playlist with selected streams of Mark: Ma Yir’s Playlist
EMS is unique because there’s no division between producers and consumers: the people who make the music are the people who enjoy the music. Today, Earth Modular Society is less unique and less special with the loss of Ma Yir. Never underestimate the guy in the Hawaiian shirt and bucket hat to deliver the gnarliest drones you’ve ever heard.
We express our deep condolences to his family and friends, and we mourn the passing of an inventive electronic musician and integral member of the EMS community. Ma Yir, you will be greatly missed by your modular friends here on Earth.
