RIP Kirill Pokrovsky of Larian

[Adamaklas]

I've been listening to kiril's music since i was a little child
All these times i was struggling to understand what a quest wanted , reading it again and again with a stupid dictionary by my side.
But i could always feel the music :D

I never realized that i was raised by kiril's music !

Fuck this sucks. Soundtracks for Divinity were always great and he looked like a proper character in many of the kickstarter videos. Condolences to Larian & family.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

A pity. RIP Kirill
Who can imagine new Divinity games without his music?

For those interested a lot of music freely shared by kirill there too.

RIP Kirill. He was one of main reasons to make me play and struggle through Beyond Divinity.

 

[Ivan]

LIVE FOREVER


I'll still bump you when I go running/bike running.

Who's left out of good Western composers?

RIP Kirill

You were the best.

I love you.

I've been trying to tell everyone I know who is into games and their music about this guy ever since I played Divine Divinity about 5 years ago, as I thought it a complete shame that a man with his musical gifts shouldn't be as well known as other, lesser composers. DD's music really blew me away, because it was unexpected. Transporting, evocative, made the game world feel bigger, more alive, and deeper than its visuals and narrative could convey.






So .

RIP Kirill

The industry just lost one of its best (perhaps the best) composers.

 

[HanoverF]

That was a depressing kickstarter update to read first thing in the morning

RIP Kirill

Sad to see European talent go way before his time , Rest in Peace brother .

I wrote it in the news thread, but it is deserved to write it here, too. Rest in piece Kirill. Great composer with some great compositions. At least your music will be remembered by many fans.

 

[Immortal]

Rest In Piece..
Loved your work dating back to many of the previous titles by Larian.

Man, wtf...
I thought he was doing better :/

I knew he was having issues during the development of Original Sin.. but do you know more about what the issues were?

 

[Alchemist]

Very sad about this - he was an amazing musical talent and unique in the field. I especially liked how he didn't rely on the typical faux-Hollywood cliches that many other game composers use these days. He made game music, not movie music - and it fit the games perfectly and became an integral part of their atmosphere.

The world has lost something special.

Very memorable music in all of the Divinity games

It has been years since I played Divinity 2 but this song pops back into my head all the time. He could really write some catchy tunes!

 

[undecaf]

Sad news. He made some great music in his time.

Rest in peace.

 

[Renfri]

Divinity games include good and bad ones, but music was always incredibly awesome.

Kirill will be greatly missed. RIP.

[Avellion]

Very sad news. Whereas most fantasy game music comes out as incredibly generic and ultimately forgettable, his soundtrack truly stood out. I found them catchy and they helped give Divinity its own character. He shall be missed.

 

[StaticSpine]

R.I.P.

 

[sser]

Well that is upsetting. Rest in peace, Kirill.

Who's left out of good Western composers?

Kay Rosenkranz, but I don't think he did anything since Risen.

He actually kickstarted a new album which he is still working on. It seems to be coming together pretty well.

:honoursword:

One of my favorite themes in gaming and one of the main reasons I played Divinity 2.

Reqiescat in pace Kirill Pokrovsky
