Ed Kelly and I bonded over computer music and a silly sense of humor. Although I only hung out with him a few times in person and we mainly communicated online over the years, it felt like I had always known him. I know things were not always easy for him, but he would push through with creative energy. He will be missed in the Pure Data community, through which I met him. Condolences to his friends and family in the UK and around the world.

Rest In Peace 1974 - 2024

"Congrats on the new kid, Ed!" - He just found out his wife had given birth. (His third, I believe.)
