electronicshadows.net going away this year

Hello,

A few years ago I made a website called Electronic Shadows, about classic EM and ambient EM. The last edition was uploaded in March 2005 and after that I had no possibilities to work on it anymore, sadly, as it was a fun project.

However, this year the site has been bought by a commercial company and this means the site will no longer remain on the internet, starting from the summer or fall. There is lots of content there (interviews, articles, concert reports, reviews, tech stuff, label profiles, links, and more) that for now exists as an archive, but you may want to browse the site now before it's gone.

Parts of Electronic Shadows will re-emerge in another shape in the fall, and some of the site's concepts will be continued in another form as well, but if you have not been to the site before, I am sure you will find something interesting there, including some exclusive interviews with well known artists in the genre; Klaus Schulze, Serge Blenner, Ed Starink, Space, Andy Pickford, Michael Stearns.....

Hop over to www.electronicshadows.net before it's gone :-)

I simply did not have time to work on it. It has many sections that requires alot of research and so on.... work comitments and girlfriend comitments, hehe..... but this year I am employed in a company that very much is deep inside the whole EM business and that's why the site has been bought and will dissapear completely later.

hehe, yes indeed.... Well, the content of the site will be taken over by another project that launches in the fall. Some of the content will then be used in the new project, whereas the old ES site will no longer have a function, not even as an archive.

Cant give many more details than this, and it's not really important, until fall comes.
