This month sees the departure of Mark Jenkins from the ES&CM editorial team and though his unique input will be missed (which is why we're retaining his freelance services), we think our new Editorial Assistant Sean Rothman, will fill the gap admirably. Sean comes fresh to the magazine business, but has a sound background in electronic and synthesizer music as a writer and performer. We think his contribution will ensure that ES&CM maintains a superior position in this exciting field. And certainly if the response to last month's survey is anything to go by, we do rather seem to be capturing the lion's share of the market... but you won't hear any complaints over that.
