Constantly pushing the boundaries of sonic experimentation, the musician and producerâs futurist creations, decades ahead of their time, are without parallel. Announcing this morning that the Glasgow-born artist had suffered a tragic accident in Athens, SOPHIEâs team hailed âa pioneer of a new soundâ and an âicon of liberationâ. In a tribute, Christine and the Queens called SOPHIE âa stellar producer, a visionary, a reference, adding that the artist ârebelled against the narrow, normative societyâ. Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes, meanwhile, described SOPHIEâs work as âincredibly stimulatingâ and âpure proof that any genre can still be pushed in untapped waysâ, concluding: âIt was impossible not to be stimulated by Sophie once acquainted.â
