Elmar Schulte / Solitaire?

Does anybody know what he has been up to?

According to discogs, he passed away in late 2022 but I can't seem to find any obituary or else locally (he used to live in the same area as me), and the last bit of info I could retrieve dates back to 2009 and 2013 respectively (being active as facility manager for some social guidance project in Paderborn).

It seems he relocated from Paderborn to Münster in the meantime.

Anybody?

Unfortunately it seems that the info regarding his death is true. A couple of months ago the Solitaire albums appeared on BC as "name your price" downloads. Now they are available at Projekt's BC site (which btw has 50% off of the download price a couple of days if You are using the "50moon" code)

Thanks for the info. Found it confirmed over at Projekt's Bandcamp site:

"Elmar tragically died in 2022 after a long illness and Ruediger, in consultation with Elmar's widow, remastered this reissue of their final two albums."

Not that I have particularly warm feelings for Elmar (quite the opposite) but he is yet another member of the "old crowd" from the early 1990s when I was cutting my teeth in EM.

May his eternal soul rest in peas... erm, peace. Peace, I meant to say.
