Joel Goldsmith dead at 54!

[Ktrek]

This was kind of shocking news! I loved his work on Stargate and Stargate Atlantis. I bought his CDs when he released them of Ark of Truth and also Continuum. I'm lucky enough to have signed copies. He will be missed.

Damn, so young to go. I love all of his scores.

Too young!  RIP.

Just a correction, it's Joel Goldsmith not Jerry that just passed away.  His dad (Jerry) died back in 2004.

Yeah, I saw this post headline and though it was really old an someone had bumped it. Still very sad for his son, so young.

Yes I initially thought this was Jerry but then realized. Sad all the same, especially since he was so young.

I'll edit KTrek's first post to fix the name.

Aak! I knew it was Joel and still titled it wrong. I was rushing out the door to work. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.   :o

so very sad.  I love some of his music.  So rich and deep.  I think insurrection is one of the best movie scores ever!
