Title: LotsOfMuzik - JORDAN RUDESS concert review & interview opportunity!
Post by: MinistroRaven on November 19, 2020, 11:18:40 AM
I think that instead of opening multiple threads or writing on the bands/artists thread, I will keep this one to request for reviewers for different bands/artists.

As for interviews when the time comes and people can go out to concerts again we can request tickets to shows, sometimes the labels are able to grant tickets sometimes not, but it is a good perk, and get the chance to speak to the band members when allowed.

So, keep an eye here, and if you can help us with interviews, reviews let me know.

Looking for a reviewer for: Silent Skies - Satellites (Dec 11th, 2020)

The music of Silent Skies, the collaborative project between Tom S. Englund, vocalist of Swedish progressive group Evergrey, and virtuoso classical pianist Vikram Shankar, feels at once lushly cinematic, warmly intimate, darkly melancholic and incandescently beautiful. It’s making is a story of a deep musical kinship between two seemingly divergent talents.

How much per review?

LOM still not big enough to pay for reviews/interviews.
The only perk to write for LOM (for now) it would be to listen to the album in advance or get free tickets to cover certain concerts when those are back. (Only if the label/PR guarantees the tickets.)

I have made the decision to stop working/facilitating interviews, reviews, etc. for LotsOfMuzik.

I need to focus more on the work that helps me pay my bills and put food on my table, and working for LOM was more a labor of love than anything else.

These 5 years have been really rewarding, to make connections with bands, labels, and fans around the globe.

Rodrigo has always been a great friend and the greatest contributor to LOM, without him I would have stepped down years ago, and I will always have him in high regard.

I also want to express my gratitude to bosk1, Fritzinger, Bernard Romero, Stadler, Brian Zaldivar, Samantha Buckman who were also a great pleasure to have worked with, you guys did it really great!

I will keep the website up as it collects some great interviews/reviews done throughout the years.

All the best to you all,

JP

I am thinking on resurrecting LOM, and do reviews, interviews, share news etc.

I would need a team to do this, this would be a labor of love, meaning that there's no payment involved for being part of the reviewers/interviewers etc.

If anyone is interested please send me a PM and we can discuss further.

Awesome Fritzinger!

I already spoke with Rodrigo and he is on board again, I guess Stadler is up for it too, will wait to hear from him, I don't know if bosk1 wants to take part occasionally as he did in the past, and I will have to ask the secret reviewer of the forum if he wants to take part one more time. In any case, anyone who is interested can contact me the more the better.

Eh what the hell, I've been going back and forth on whether to go to the Cambridge, MA show or not (I have another concert the night before and a third the week before), but if I'm getting a free ticket for it that makes that decision easier. I could certainly write some thoughts up afterwards. I've only seen the band once before when they were touring for Wasteland.
