SONJA KRISTINA BROKE the news of the passing of Curved Air’s original drummer. Florian Pilkington-Miksa, who co-founded the British prog group in 1970 and had three spells with them.
“Florian was a unique man and musician,” Curved Air vocalist Kristina wrote on Facebook. “His style incorporated all the rhythms of the notes, so that he played ‘the song’ rather than a textbook drum beat. His spirituality was centred around Beings of Light and a Universal Consciousness. Florian was also a sculptor. He created extraordinarily beautiful images of his angels.”
