Our friend Richard Lainhart died quite unexpectedly last week. Writing about Richard is a bit like talking about art: words seem far too monochromatic to describe someone as precious, sublime and complex as was Richard.
Instead of trying to quantify the multidimensional facets of Richard's wonderful life, I want you to know how much we are already missing his generous and gentle spirit. I, personally, feel an emptiness that is very hard to describe. It has something to do with taking for granted the idea that he would always be here. Got a problem? Richard had a solution. Puzzled about an arcane technical question? I called Richard ...because he always knew the answer. It's strange to think that in a world of unlimited, online information, Richard was my most steady and reliable source.
We shared a love of sound and synthesis. Watching Richard conjure up his organic electronic textures from his awesome Buchla was a bit like being a spectator at The Creation itself. Bubbling forth from his sonic brew were primordial universes, expanding and contracting like the forces of nature, and beyond. Truly magnificent.
In the months and weeks before he left this world, we had been trying to get together to improvise with the goal of, perhaps, performing together. I had to cancel a couple of scheduled rehearsals, as did he. This, I am quite sure, is going to be one of my deepest regrets.
Thank you Richard for all the goodness you brought into the world through your spirit and your music. Peace.

Thank you for your touching tribute.

Keep sharing Richards work and he will be with you for a long time. For now cry, hug, talk and laugh when you think of him.
Keep sharing, like he did.
My deepest condolences for his family, friends and colleagues.
May Richard rest in peace.
The words above is what I'll remember most about Richard and his always engaging articles on The Hub.
Thank you, Richard, for the inspiration and your amazing contribution to our community. We will miss you.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your note about Richard is a beautiful tribute for which I thank you for sharing. You've honored your friend well during a time where deep sadness and shock must be ever present.
Your thoughtful note has prompted me to reach out to my close friend and co-worker of over 20 years and remind him how much his friendship means to me, and thank him for sharing his brilliance over the years and how I hope he doesn't feel taken for granted.
May I add that it appears we've both been blessed knowing true renaissance men.
Thank you and best regards,
and learned a bunch in the process.
Best wishes to his family
his tutorials on synthesizer were on the point.

None of us knew how he did it. We'd all just look at each other and shrug. Who knows how he got things back up and running but he did. "No problem," he'd say with a smile. And off he'd go.
I know there are many, many people who are affected by his passing, and I'd like to take the opportunity to pass along my condolences. I only wish I'd had the chance to know Richard better. His passing is a reminder of how fragile life is, and how quickly it can be turned upside down. To fill our time here, while we have it, as Richard did...with those we love, doing the things we love.
my heartfelt sympathies to all his loved ones
Our best tribute: to go on learning with his tutorials and lessons...
Thank you MPV for inviting Richard to be one of your leading trainers!
My deepest sympathy to his family and close friends.
