Soundvenues Bagmænd

Nicolai Torp, chefredaktør

 

Hvad præcist går dit arbejde ud på?
»Jamen, jeg er chefredaktør. Det er mig, der ligger de overordnede linjer for bladet, og bestemmer hvad vi skal skrive om, og hvordan vi skal skrive det. Jeg har kontakt til de andre redaktører, der fortæller, hvad de har af materialer fra journalister mm..
Som chefredaktør tager man sig også af de mere kedelige ting som markedsføring, events og økonomi.«



Hvilken uddannelse har du taget, for at nå til hvor du er nu?
»Jeg læste film- og medievidenskab på KUA. Jeg havde faktisk troet, at jeg ville være filmjournalist, men fordi jeg interesserer mig mere for musik, valgte jeg at blive musikjournalist.
På Soundvenue er der faktisk ikke nogen af redaktørerne, der har taget en uddannelse på journalisthøjskolen. Jeg siger ikke, at man ikke skal tage en uddannelse, for det synes jeg man bør, men i det samfund vi lever i i dag, er der også mange andre måder at komme frem på, end ved slavisk at gå frem ved en uddannelse.«

Hvor ofte søger man nyt job, når man er i din branche?
»Jeg ved ikke helt, hvor ofte der skiftes job indenfor journalistik. Jeg har været med på Soundvenue siden begyndelsen, så jeg har aldrig haft hverken lyst eller behov for at skifte job. Men generelt er der stor arbejdsløshed inden for journalistik. Der er vitterligt ikke særlig mange arbejdspladser, så mange journalister ender desværre i kommunikation.«

Er dit job mentalt hårdt at have?
»Fordi Soundvenue stadig er et relativt lille magasin, er vi nødt til at spare rimelig meget her og der. Så der er ikke råd til, at ansætte en hel masse folk, til at ordne alle mulige ting. Derfor er vi nødt til at klare det hele selv. Så det er lange arbejdsdage, med utallige deadlines. Jeg arbejder op imod 50 timer om ugen, og hvis man ikke synes, det vi nu laver er fedt, så er det et meget hårdt job at have.«

Hvilke råd kan du give, hvis man gerne vil gå i dine fodspor?
»Hvis man gerne vil starte et blad, skal man også tage højde for alle de kedelige ting, som økonomi osv., så det kan godt være svært, hvis man ikke har andre med sig.
Men mit bedste råd, hvis man gerne vil være musikjournalist, er at skrive så meget man overhoved kan. Starte en blog med nogle venner, være med i skolebladet, og der fra få så meget erfaring man overhoved kan. Og så få kritik på det man laver. Selvom man nogen gange kan få nogle ordentlig hug, vil det alt sammen være med til, at gøre en bedre til det man gør.«

Hvordan starter man sit eget blad, og hvordan er livet som redaktør? Jeg har snakket med de to vigtigste hoveder på mode- og musikmagasinet Soundvenue, der har hjulpet mig, til at blive oplyst omkring det hektiske liv i journalistbranchen.

Kristian Keller, magasinredaktør

 

Hvad præcist går dit arbejde ud på?
»Jeg er magasinredaktør og ansvarlig for produktionen af al indhold til Soundvenue Magazine. Det vil sige udvælgelse af de artister vi skriver om, og hvordan vi dækker dem (forside, længere interview, kortere interview), ideer til længere featureartikler, korte nyhedsbaserede artikler, etc. Kort sagt idéudvikling og udvælgelse af alt materiale til magasinet. Derudover finder jeg ud af hvilke journalister, fotografer, makeupartister og stylister, der skal lave de forskellige opgaver, snakker pris med dem og idéudvikler med dem på de individuelle opgaver. Og så redigerer jeg efterfølgende alle tekster i magasinet.«



Hvilken uddannelse har du taget, for at nå til hvor du er nu?
»Jeg er journalistuddannet fra et amerikansk universitet, hvor jeg har en bachelor i journalistik og er et famøst speciale fra en mastergrad i journalistik.«



Hvor ofte søger man nyt job, når man er i din branche?
»Det er nok meget individuelt, men jeg tror, at hvis man først er fuldtidsansat på en kulturredaktion, så bliver mange hængende i ret mange år. Ofte opbygger journalisterne også en slags identitet via mediet, altså de fleste forbinder Erik Jensen eller Kim Skotte med Politiken. Det er selvfølgelig et plus for både journalisten og mediet.«



Hvilke type jobs har du haft, før du kom til at arbejde hos netop Soundvenue?
»Soundvenue er faktisk mit første fagrelevante fuldtidsjob, men jeg har op gennem min 'ungdom' skrevet for en masse publikationer, fra lokalsprøjten på Bornholm, da jeg var teenager, starte en skoleavis på min lokale Handelsskole, til at være redaktør på avisen på det universitet, hvor jeg læste i USA. Og jeg har jeg skrevet lidt freelance for forskellige danske medier.«



Hvad inspirerede dig til at vælge netop denne retning inden for journalistik?
»Jeg har altid interesseret mig utrolig meget for musik og godt kunne lide at formidle glæden ved musik. Det har jeg gjort på den ene eller anden måde i mange år. Men det var på mange måder lidt et tilfælde, at jeg endte med at gå den vej professionelt, tror jeg. Jeg manglede netværk indenfor branchen, da jeg kom til Danmark og freelancede forskellige steder, blandt andet hos Soundvenue, da de søgte anmeldere, og det udviklede sig i takt med, at magasinet blev et betalingsmagasin.«



Er dit job mentalt hårdt at have?
»Jobbet som musikjournalist generelt tror jeg ikke nødvendigvis er mentalt hårdt, men jobbet som magasinredaktør hos Soundvenue er forholdsvist hårdt. Der er meget at se til og et stort ansvar. Men generelt bør musikjournalister føle et stort ansvar overfor at være opsøgende og bredt orienterede, så deres valg af kunstnere bliver taget på et velovervejet grundlag.«



Hvilke råd kan du give, hvis man gerne vil gå i dine fodspor?
- er der nogen faldgrupper?
»Uh, det er svært Men jeg synes, det er vigtigt at finde ud af, hvad der driver værket. Hvis det er en forestilling om, at det er 'sejt' eller 'rock'n'roll' at være musikjournalist, så er man på afveje, men hvis det er en stor interesse for musik og en lyst til at udbrede den 'gode' musik, så er man måske mere på rette vej. Så synes jeg, at man skal prøve at blive oplyst omkring musik, høre meget musik og læse meget musikjournalistik. Og så skal man frem for alt få en masse erfaring: Søg praktikpladser, freelance (måske endda gratis, hvis nødvendigt i starten) og prøv at få foden indenfor, så du kan bevise dit værd – og vær ikke bange for at have markante holdninger, så længe de er velovervejede.«

Painted this at a benefit for Pincrest Gardens with private concert by Stephen Marley. Mr. Marley confronted me about the painting wanting to know what it means. He put me on the spot in a way that made me speechless. I was not expecting a musician to question my actions as a painter. But then again he’s a Marley….a legend.

Jay Chou Coffee Stain Portrait

Posted | Views: 15,015


Artist Red Hong (who practices painting without a tradtional brush) creates a portrait using coffee cup stains:

 

This project was inspired by the opening and closing lines in Jay Chou’s song, ‘Secret/不能说的秘密’. The opening line is about lifting a coffee cup off the saucer, “冷咖啡离开了杯垫” . The ending line of the song is about autumn leaves and fragmented pieces, “飘落后才发现 这幸福的碎片, 要我怎么捡?”. Hundreds of individual coffee stain rings, many of them broken and imperfect like fallen autumn leaves, form a whole portrait.

 

… The project took about 12 hours to finish. Coffee is quite a challenging medium to use - too little water and the rings wouldn’t form easily, too much water and the rings would blend into each other, resulting in just a deformed pool of coffee. I had to also wait for the lighter parts too dry up before stamping on the darker rings, or else the rings would not be visible.

 

You can see a video of the piece being made at Red’s blog here

Weird Cloud UFO Falls from the Sky

Posted | Views: 16,749

 

You know how the biggest annoyance with UFO videos is that they are blurry and shaky and look sort of like somebody threw a bunch of LEDs into the sky and filmed them? Well, you certainly can't make that complaint about this video, which captures a truly bizarre UFO floating down from the sky, getting caught on a fence, and then being touched by a friend of the person filming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

There is a whole internet lore around so-called Cloud UFOs, which are basically clouds that UFO supposedly hide behind or inside. Could this be a chunk of one such cloud, drifting to earth? Or is it something even more creepy, like a blob of industrial waste foam? Either way, WHY IS THIS GUY TOUCHING IT?

Weird Cloud Falls 

From The Sky?

  

 

   

 

This video footage appears to be from some part of the Middle East. People are saying the cloud-like form is some type of 'Cloud UFO' or some type of fume from an industrial plant. I hope the guy that touches it didn't die. What is it? You Decide! 

Villager touches the cloud-like form when it falls on the fence from the sky.

Sacha Baron Cohen spills 'ashes' all over Ryan Seacrest

Posted | Views: 14,710

 

Sure, Brad, George, and that silver fox Christopher Plummer captured the Academy’s attention for their strong performances in 2011, but the days leading up to tonight’s ceremony have been dominated by discussion of a more Method performance. News emerged four days ago that Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to walk the red carpet as his character from The Dictator. A day later, the Academy had threatened to deny him entrance, and Cohen was quick to respond. After much haggling, it appears that Cohen has been granted his wish, as he just emerged from a limousine in Dictatordrag. Will he create a stir (as he’s wont to do)? Or will it be a stunt-that-wasn’t? More on the story as it develops…

 

UPDATE: Victory! “The Dictator” just dropped an urn full of “Kim Jong-il’s” ashes on a clearly annoyed Ryan Seacrest. Giuliana Rancic said, “Do you know how lucky you are? Out of every reporter here, he chose you,” though Seacrest seemed less than pleased. For her part, E! correspondent Kelly Osbourne could only laugh in disbelief. Seacrest took several moments to clean the ashes off, finally receiving a towel from a nearby reporter from another outlet. Seacrest: “Now you know why this isn’t taped. Anything can happen, and it most certainly did — all over my lapel.”

 

UPDATE: Seacrest seems to have gained his composure, as he just just handed a pinch of ashes (or Bisquick, he’s claiming) to Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith. Next up, Tina Fey sympathetically called him “a victim of comedy.” Seacrest: “I’m in the trenches.” And then, Jennifer Lopez approached to ask, “What happened?” That’s what we in the biz calling opening up a can of worms (or ashes, as it were).

Facebook Spies on Smartphone Text Messages

Posted | Views: 14,667

Wonderful!? 

WTF!!

Facebook spies on phone users' text messages, report says

INTERNET giant Facebook is accessing smartphone users' personal text messages, an investigation revealed today.


Facebook admitted reading text messages belonging to smartphone users who downloaded the social-networking app and said that it was accessing the data as part of a trial to launch its own messaging service, The (London) Sunday Times reported.

 

Other well-known companies accessing smartphone users' personal data - such as text messages - include photo-sharing site Flickr, dating site Badoo and Yahoo Messenger, the paper said.

 

It claimed that some apps even allow companies to intercept phone calls - while others, such as YouTube, are capable of remotely accessing and operating users' smartphone cameras to take photographs or videos at any time.


Security app My Remote Lock and the app Tennis Juggling Game were among smaller companies' apps that may intercept users' calls, the paper said.

 

Emma Draper, of the Privacy International campaign group, said, "Your personal information is a precious commodity, and companies will go to great lengths to get their hands on as much of it as possible."

 

More than 400,000 apps can be downloaded to Android phones, and more than 500,000 are available for iPhones - with all apps downloaded from Apple's App Store covered by the same terms and conditions policy.

 

According to a YouGov poll for the newspaper, 70 per cent of smartphone users rarely or never read the terms and conditions policy when they download an app.

I spy, I spy, I spy!

The Meta-Story:

How Wired Published Its GitHub Story on GitHub

Earlier this week, Wired published a story about GitHub, the “version control” site that’s taking the internet by storm. But it was more than just a story. It was an experiment in version control. In addition to publishing our GitHub story on Wired, we published our GitHub story on GitHub


GitHub was originally designed for software developers. It lets programmers upload code and share it with other developers. It keeps track of who made what changes where. And it helps merge all those changes together. It “controls” the various versions of an open source software project.


But nowadays, it’s also being used to oversee stuff outside the programming world, including DNA data and Senate bills that may turn into laws and all sorts of other stuff you can put into a text file, such as, well, a Wired article.


At Wired offices, you hear the question over and over again as we work on stories like the one you’re reading now: “Are you out of the story? I want to go in.” We have a version control problem. We publish Wired.com on WordPress. It’s a decent publishing tool, but when two people change a story at the same time, one of them doesn’t get her changes onto the final story.
