It is a very sad day to announce that Tom Relleen passed away peacefully on 23rd August 2020 after being diagnosed with stomach cancer towards the beginning of the year.
I have meant to find more words but up until this point have found that words get stuck whilst still processing what has happened over a very quick period of time. The following words were published by The Quietus which you can also find along with other tributes in the link below.
Tom was a beautiful, inspiring friend who helped, encouraged and motivated many people. I am extremely grateful that we managed to complete the Autotelia album together before his passing and I will never forget the 15 years we spent playing music together.
Without Tom’s enthusiasm and input The Oscillation would most probably not have become a live entity. We have lost a truly dear friend and an incredibly talented musician who never stopped pushing himself and exploring musical worlds. He will be hugely missed and remembered with love and many happy memories
