Plans for Silent Sound Waves

July 28th, 2008 — 7:33pm | Project Development | Comment »

While I am hard at work laying down the groundwork which will hopefully serve as a foundation for the success of my new blog, Silent Sound Waves, which will hopefully launch for real within a few weeks, I thought I’d share some of the things I plan on doing over there.

It’s a music blog, so everything will obviously be centered around music, and more specifically the music that I for some reason feel like writing about. Hopefully I will be able to post on this blog daily (ambitious for me, I know), and I plan on having some specific columns that each will have a new entry once a week:

  • Tributes : Articles about artists who have been influential, or just making good music that didn’t influence all that much, for a long time, or is no longer around. This will hopefully give some attention to the music of artists who might have been forgotten.
  • “New Artists” : Not really sure what this will actually be called, but the purpose of it is to share new talent, unsigned or just not very recognized, with the readers. Column name suggestions are welcome!
That’s all I have set in stone for now actually! It will fill up two days of the week with posts, which leaves five more for the more traditional stuff, which is of course various news updates about bands and artists which are covered, album reviews and other features like for instance live events I attend (example) and similar.
Ideally I would like to have one more regular column, but at this point I’m not sure what it would be. I’ll keep thinking about it, and in the meantime you can always leave your suggestions and comments if you have any. What would you like to read about at a music blog? Let me know!

I started a new blog

After spending some time on the fence without doing much online except the occasional tweet I went out and just started a new blog, which is called Silent Sound Waves. If the name didn’t reveal it for you, the blog is about music, and this is something I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while.

The domain was actually registered quite a few months back, but my original plans for it fell through the cracks and I decided to put it off for a while. As you can read more about in the first post, the initial plans for the site were much bigger, but this time around I decided to put the ambitions of world domination away and go for something as simple as a traditional blog.

Summer however is quite a busy time for me, as it is these months of no school I spend working and saving up money for the hard year as a student which is to come. As a result, the next month or so there will just be infrequent and unscheduled new posts at the blog in order to fill it up with content. This is because I believe it is preferable to give the potential readers some idea of what they can expect once I start to promote the blog in the middle of August.

If you are interested in music, mainly in the genres of rock / punk / pop and variations of these, feel free to check out my new blog and subscribe, as I would love some feedback on what I write about, even before I start to seriously promote it. Right now I am for instance working on a monster post of a report from a music festival I attended last weekend, and it will be a good example of what’s to come in the future from me over at Silent Sound Saves, along with news, reviews and a whole bunch of other opinionated posts.

See you there! Or here, if you’re not interested in a bigger dose of me than what you already get here at my personal blog ;)
