#WhomWeMiss #NewYorkNotes @RecordingAcad #PhilippeZdarCerboneschi RECORDING ACADEMY™ STATEMENT RE: PHILIPPE "ZDAR" CERBONESCHI JUNE 20, 2019
The Recording Academy™ is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of esteemed producer and electronic music icon Philippe "Zdar" Cerboneschi. An influential artist in his own right, Philippe collaborated with a roster of highly respected musicians, including Kanye West, Beastie Boys, and Franz Ferdinand, and was a member of the French house duo Cassius. As a producer/engineer, Cerboneschi earned a GRAMMY® Award in the Best Alternative Music Album category for his work on Phoenix's album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, at the 52nd GRAMMY Awards®. Philippe's influential creations will continue to impact music forever. Our thoughts are with his collaborators and loved ones during this difficult time.
