Rafael Anton Irisarri—the Seattle musician/Substrata founder best known for his work in The Sight Below and the Benoit Pioulard collab Orcas—has become the latest victim of a van robbery. And in this case, he wasn’t touring; Irisarri was actually in the middle of a move with his wife when the following incident happened (via Tumblr)…
Our moving truck got stolen around 4:17 am this morning, along with all my studio equipment, backup drives, instruments (even a 900 pound piano!) and all of our lifelong possession. We lost EVERYTHING.
