Sad news today, the passing, aged 55, of artist and musician Peter Christopherson co-founder of the influential bands Coil, Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV. Apparently Peter died in his sleep.

In the wake of Sleazy's death a number of <a href="http://www.sacred-profane.com/" target="_blank">memorial sites</a> have sprung up around the web and there's a thorough obituary over at <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/nov/28/peter-christopherson-obituary" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>. As a Strange Attractor memorial of sorts, here's an article Peter contributed to the 2009 Equinox Festival catalogue that outlines some of his philosophy: <a href="http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/pdf/sacredprofanePC.pdf" target="_blank"><em>Sacred and Profane</em></a> (PDF).

I'm also hoping to make available, online, a recording of Coil's performance at the Strange Attractor/Third Stone <em>Megalithomania</em> conference in 2001.
