Why did you create updatescotland.com?

There are well established means by which people can find out about or promote indie, dance, metal, traditional, etc., music in Scotland. But what about all of the music that resists classification, that comes from a set of traditions that are not so widely shared, or which is just plain weird? This website brings together all of the people in Scotland who spend their time making, listening to, promoting, selling, teaching, and inquiring about this music that doesn't quite fit anywhere else.

What do you mean by 'marginal'?

Although Update tries to avoid explicit definitions, the following approaches are examples of the kind thing we're talking about: ambient, breakcore, contemporary classical, dark ambient, doom, drone, electro-acoustic composition, electronica, experimental, free improvisation, free jazz, IDM, improv, math rock, minimalism, new weird folk, noise, post rock, power electronics, punk-primitive, sound art and other associated styles.

Can you list my details on the site?

As long as what you do fits our remit. We're pretty flexible so please visit the site, have alook around and get in touch.
