For those who don't know yet: Kirill Pokrovsky, the man responsible for all of the fantastic music in Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Divinity 2, Dragon Commander, and Divinity: Original Sin passed away yesterday.
A great man, a fantastic composer and a good friend passed away yesterday. Rest in peace Kirill Pokrovsky: we will miss you.
And thank you for all the gifts you've given us.
We each have our own Kirill story and many of us have Kirill presents on their desks. All of them demonstrate how rich a person you were.
We've all hummed your music and we have marveled at how far your virtuosity went. You were truly somebody unique, a true artist, and we were very lucky to have you as a colleague.
Larian will never be the same again without you. We will remember you always.
You can also find his music in the following Divinity install directories:
I'm so sad to hear about this. For a long time he's been my favourite games music composer, and I've spent so many enjoyable hours listening to his incredibly immersive soundtracks.
Quick head's up: I edited the opening post w/ some videos from Larian's YouTube channel. Check 'em out.

A very sad loss indeed.
I know. I'm pretty damn picky about what music I like, what music I love, and there are very few modern musicians or composers that I really, genuinely adore: Yoko Kanno, Nobuo Uematsu, and Kirill Pokrovsky.
I know Larian re-purposed some older music for Divinity: Original Sin. I hope they continue to do so for future games, because a Divinity game without Kirill's music is no Divinity at all.
It's hard for me to say something, he accompanied my art pass time it's gone more than the gameplay time; a Master it's gone and sadly I'm not even able to express more. Rest in peace dear Master and thanks for every creation you made for all of us...
I can not express how sad I'm at the moment, a great man, and for me the greatest gaming composer of all time has left as
A big part of what make Divinity games so great was his music, and soundtrack for Divine Divinity is something that still give me the chills and beautiful nostalgic feeling each time I listen it.
I just want to express my sadness at learning the news about Mr. Pokrovsky. I did not know him, but he was only 3 (three!) years older than me and June 1 was my birthday. The compositions of the Divinity series are a beautiful legacy to his musical gifts. My heart felt sympathies to his friends and family everywhere. Thank you.
Did not know the man, which kind of limits what i can say, beyond the stereotypically obvious..
Looking forward to seeing some mention of him in the next game. Possibly a lean troll with a crazy hairstyle banging a tree for a piano or some such. In the middle of a raging ongoing siege
