Gerard van Dongen/Gilcher passed away on Friday the 4th of March, after
a brave battle with colon cancer. Gerard worked as a composer, musician
and computer programmer in Rotterdam as well as played live with many
improvisational and electronic musicians in the Netherlands including
Bart Maris, Tom Wouters, Joe Williamson, Henk Bakker, Peter van Bergen
and Ann LaBerge. He performed solo-concerts with electronics and/or
piano compositions and played for numerous dance and theatre
productions, produced radio-plays for the internet, and was a technical
designer and software programmer for multimedia theater. Gerard was also
an active member of the Pure Data and Linux Audio Developers
communities, and contributed code for the user interface of the Ardour
project.
Gerard kept a very positive outlook throughout his illness, and he will
certainly be missed.
Marie Louise Gilcher has organized a memorial service for Thursday, 9
March at the "Crooswijk" Cemetery in Rotterdam.
