Soundscaping - sonic excursions into new electronic music
Soundscaping was started in 2005 primarily to become an online resource directed at the Norwegian music scene, predominantly music which involves an element of electronica. 2008 will also see the launch of Soundscaping Records, an independent label with a focus on quality releases in the same music genres promoted by the Soundscaping netzine.
