RIP

This sucks big time. I was a big fan of his and he actually seem like a genuine good guy. Rest in peace, Kirill.

His music had a different style than many other games and I'm not saying this just because, but in many ways, he was way ahead of his colleagues in the business. I remember when I first heard the Divine Divinity soundtrack. It kept me playing it for hours straight. Divinity 2 also had some great tracks. I guess it's true for the whole series.

One of my favorite pieces of his:

 

[abnaxus]

Good night sweet prince.

A Divinity without Kirill music simply is no Divinity.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

At first I couldn't believe the title of this thread...

Thanks to Kirill's music I've spent many hours with Divinity series.

 

[J_C]

Damn, this was totally unexpected. Rest in Peace Kirill, we will miss you.

 

[i.Razor]

I liked Divinities' OST.

RIP Kirill.

 

[TomatoJuice]

RIP Kirill.

Your Musical talent will be missed.
It sad that it had to happen after Larian found it's stride.

 

[DwarvenFood]

RIP

He was a personality too, also that smoke on the water during kickstarter party.

 

[Mangoose]

No...

 

[Sputnik]

A truly sad day. Kirill, you will be missed

 

[krist2]

Ahh, really sad news. His music really set the mood for the Divinity games, and he was a great character.

Rest in peace conjurer of great music

[Kirkpatrick]

Ugh, what a gut punch.

 

[markec]

Rest in peace.

I remember playing Divine Divnity for the first time and thinking this game doesnt look very good, but I listened to the soundtrack and it made me wanna play it. I was grateful for it for I experienced both great game and a great soundtrack.

i'm speechless

Kirill Pokrovsky was member of the Russian band Master Rock group. Over 2 mln. copies of this album were sold.

Didn't even know there was something wrong with him and I'm genuinely less excited about future Larian games knowing he won't be there to score them. Never really stopped to consider that for some reason, but I'm just now realizing that not a single one of those games managed to live up to his scores.

The man had talent. This really fucking sucks

 

[Durandal]

 

[Jedi Exile]

That's some serious decline, man. I can't believe Kirill is gone.

 

[Mangoose]

Man. Kirill's music is the only game music I've listened to outside of game.

 

[theBlackDragon]

This is truly sad news. Kirill seemed like a great guy on top of being an insanely talented composer. Larian will never be the same again.

It also explains why an acquaintance didn't reply when I probed him about Kirill's health quite a while ago. I think I need a strong drink now.

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Very sad news. He will be missed. Thank God he left behind his music.

 

[Tolknaz]

Rest In Peace, Maestro.

 

[Minttunator]

That's an absolute shame.

RIP, bro - and thanks for all the great music!

 

[deuxhero]

Well that sucks.
