Stefanos Tsigrimanis (Nov. 28, 1980 – Sep. 7, 2010)

Time:
It is our sad responsibility to announce to you that our dear friend, Stefanos Tsigrimanis (musician, educator, scholar and journalist, and one of thingNY’s founding members) passed away earlier this month, after a bicycle accident in Brooklyn. Stefanos was a very energetic and intelligent man, with an incredibly curious mind and a love of experimental and improvisational music. Some of our most memorable (and by far our loudest) moments on stage involved the banged-up guitars and percussive toys of Mr. Tsigrimanis, and we’ll miss our good friend and collaborator. Stefanos’s last performance with thingNY was a jam session after the release of our opera in June 2010. You can hear Stefanos singing and playing on the final track of our demo album, available free below. There will be a concert celebrating his life on November 30 at Issue Project Room in which thingNY and his other collaborators will perform.
