RIP Brian Humphries
Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Brian Humphries, the Pink Floyd engineer who passed away on Wednesday night. Brian had an impressive career, having worked with renowned bands like Free and Traffic before dedicating his talents exclusively to Pink Floyd. Having first worked with the band on Ummagumma, Zabriskie Point and More in 1969, he went on to engineer the Wish You Were Here and Animals albums and played a crucial role in overseeing Britannia Row Studios in the late 1970s. Additionally, Brian served as the band’s front-of-house sound mixer during their tours in 1974, 1975, and 1977, where he also excelled as a tape effects technician. He will be deeply missed.
