About Us

Acoustic, Jazz and Classical

AcousticMusic.News covers acoustic music, jazz and classical – performance, recording and repertoire. We publish explanatory journalism about how music actually gets made, released and paid for, rather than press-release coverage of what came out this week.

We write about performances captured rather than constructed. The room is part of the instrument, a jazz trio recorded together is doing something a separated session cannot, and dynamic range is frequently the subject rather than a problem to be managed.

How we work

Articles here are written by Clara Ambrose, who covers this beat for AcousticMusic.News. Pieces are researched and written rather than aggregated, and where a claim rests on a specific event, statistic or decision we check it against primary reporting before it publishes. We do not run articles built from a single aggregator.

We do not fabricate interviews, quotes or releases. If we have not spoken to someone, we do not imply that we have. Where a piece is analysis rather than reporting, it reads as analysis.

Who publishes this

AcousticMusic.News is part of the MW3.biz music network. MW3.biz connects independent and grassroots artists with music curators and publications, and supports artists self-managing their own careers. Coverage decisions here are editorial and are not determined by whether an artist has used that platform.

If you are an artist looking to promote a release, the platform is at mw3.biz.
