HISTORY Throughout the latter half of the past century, electronic music as a genre has weathered the ebb and flow of technological invention, generational mutation and perpetual re-evaluation by artist and devotee alike. The cut-and-paste tape editors and analogue pioneers of yesterday, the continuing evolution of instrumentation and sound-sourcing media, and a rich history of experimental zeal and daring have ushered in the era of the digital sound wrinkle. Launched in 2003 as a print magazine, e/i was the second magazine I published after the demise of i/e, which ran from 1990-1998. e/i was an attempt to establish on the newsstand what I hoped would be the most comprehensive, definitive, intelligently written and artfully designed magazine covering all manners of music electronic, experimental and otherwise. Our editorial mandate was to shatter genre margins while encompassing the past, the present and the future, extolling a broad swathe of artists who challenged the very notions of sound and vision. Although shifts in the publishing paradigm resulted in e/i having to abandon the print medium in 2006 after only seven issues, we nevertheless look to bring the same breadth of enthusiastic and passionate critique to e/i’s online incarnation as we did with its former paper-based cousin. Come along as we storm the studio. DARREN BERGSTEIN Founder/Publisher, e/i & i/e Magazines |
