R.I.P. Phill Niblock. Wow, huge loss here. he was so many things to so many people: filmmaker, musician, innovator, curator, archivist… and a swell human being. many will have much more to say about this brilliant person than I ever could. His story, life and work spans decades and his influence in various artistic circles are too many and broad to do justice to here.
