Pink Floyd announced on the band’s social media feeds that engineer Brian Humphries died May 30.
According to the posts, Humphries was employed by Island Records and worked with groups such as Free and Traffic before leaving the label to work exclusively for Floyd. His early projects with the band included “Ummagumma” (1969), “Zabriskie Point” (1970) and “More” (1969).
In 1974 he became the band’s front-of-house sound mixer, a duty he performed on tours during ’75 and ’77, as well. He would eventually engineer “Wish You Were Here” (1975) and “Animals” (1977), as well as oversee the group’s Britannia Row Studios in the late 1970s.
This 1975 photo of Humphries was taken by Jill Furmanovsky during the making of “Wish You Were Here” at Abbey Road studios. More of Furmanovsky’s Pink Floyd images can be seen at www.rockarchive.com.
