Greetings Surfer: My name is Michael Foster
and I am the editor and the webmaster of Ambient
Visions and if there is any credit
due for the site or any blame to be had for what's wrong with it I
guess I'm the one you should be e-mailing. I'm glad that you found
your way here and I would like to tell you a little bit about the
origins of Ambient Visions.
Ambient Visions
was born onto the web as
the musical part of TWPT way back in 1999. AV was
born out of my love for ambient and new age music and the desire to share some of the
information that I was running across in my searches around the web. After spending all those years working in a record store when I was younger it was only natural that I would want to continue to do what I did back then. Share with others the titles and the artists that I had found that brought me enjoyment.
Our mission as a website is to offer a place
where those interested in ambient, new age, electronica, electronic,
space, world and experimental music might come to and learn the
latest news, read an interview with those who make the music, read
reviews of the latest and some classic music of the genre and to find
links to destinations all over the web. We wanted to become a
resource for the community and to offer links to the many other
resources a musician or listener might need. As time goes on I hope
to make AV one of those names that you remember because you found the
information that you were looking for when you visited the site.
I am always looking for input from my readers,
the labels (both small and large), and the artists themselves in the
development of Ambient Visions in the years to come. I think that the
only way to make a prosperous and useful website is to make it in
conjunction with those you are attempting to reach with your
information. Participation in the form of articles about anything
pertaining to the genres mentioned above or anything to do with the
industry that creates and distributes ambient music to the listeners
is welcome as well. I am always looking for those who like to be
involved as reviewers also. It seems that you can never have enough
differing viewpoints when it comes to reviews. The more the merrier.
I encourage everyone involved with ambient music
from the readers of this e-zine, those who run the labels, the
artists, the publicists or even those who sponsor events around the
country to submit their press releases or event announcements to the
e-mail address above for publication on our news page. Let everyone
know what's going on by letting me know what's going on. I'll see to
it that it gets posted in a timely manner to the website. And if you
have a website please use the banner below to link back to us and let
your visitors know about us. When you have linked us up please drop
me an e-mail and I will get you listed on the appropriate spot on
Ambient Visions.
I hope that you enjoy your stay here at the
website and that you will come back again real soon. Thanks for
your support and I'll see you again soon.
Michael Foster, editor
