Musical Note. April will sound the launch of FF Magazine, a new title
playing to musicians aged 14-24. The publication and its Web site ( http://www.fflive.com ) are named for the musical
symbol for fortissimo, meaning loud. According to co-founder Mark Morse, content
will focus on the "pent-up passions" that drive young musicians, whether they're
rock guitarists, classical violinists, songwriters or rappers. "Band kids sometimes
feel they have to be apologetic about what they play," Morse says. FF content
will celebrate all kinds of musicians - from band geeks to garage rockers -
covering topics such as how to make, record and publish your own music, how
to meet other musicians using the Web and profiles of successful musicians.
"But everything will be written from a musician standpoint, not a fan standpoint,"
Morse says. Pitch ideas by email to [email protected].
