It doesn't really offer any details other than he was dissatisfied with his career. To me, his timing seems unprofessional and he could have conducted himself much better without leaving his friends hanging.
He was apparently unhappy for a while, I had a feeling it was hard to be away from his family, he really didn't get into it. He doesn't talk to Paul anymore. It still seems unusual the way it all happened. It is sad because he was really awesome and helped define MuteMath's sound, but I am sure MuteMath will continue to be great.
Yeah I still feel like there’s much more to the story with how abrupt his departure was... wonder if we’ll ever find out.
It's crazy how when someone leaves a band, the end result usually winds up being that they get shunned or don't talk to the rest of the band anymore. You become super close to all of the members and then eventually don't even talk anymore. Its truly sad.
