The news comes as a double blow to fans, as new dates had only just been announced for a relaunched Vision Talk, reuniting Petersson and vocalist Richard Flow (who is also known for his work in Machinista). A new recording, “Come with Me 2016,” had been released on Soundcloud in January 2016, raising expectations.
A dedicated father, the last post on Petersson’s Soundcloud account was a version of “Incy Wincy Spider.” Petersson leaves behind five children and two stepchildren, a monumental legacy of electronic music and a community deep in shock.
