It’s with a heavy heart that we have to announce the passing of Roli Mosimann.
Roli died at 2:15am on September 15 2024 in hospital in Wroclaw, Poland, from lung cancer which had metastasized to his spine and hip. His suffering ended in the intensive care unit in the presence of his family.
Roli was JG Thirlwell‘s partner in the project Wiseblood. They released the album Dirtdish, the EP PTTM and the 12″ single ‘Motorslug‘ and played live extensively.
Thirlwell was drawn to working with him after seeing his incredible drum skills in Swans. Roli was also acclaimed for producing the Swiss band Young Gods and working with JoJo Meyer, Faith No More, Celtic Frost, That Petrol Emotion, Machines of Loving Grace and The The, among many others. He was a questing musician and a sonic sculptor. He was also a great guy, and, as his first wife Alexa said, “lover of women, wine and song..”
Our heart goes out to his family and those whose lives he touched.
RIP Roli Mosimann 11.07.1955 – 09.15.2024
