Celebrating 15 years of publication
Vivascene began in September of 2010 with the launch of a series of articles entitled 30 Songs, 30 Years.
After a lifetime of collecting vinyl records, owning a record/audio store, and devouring countless issues of The Absolute Sound and Stereophile, I decided to write about the music that had inspired me over the years. Others joined me – we shared a love of music and writing.
Since our beginning, we have published nearly 2,000 articles. The mission was simple: to write about music that we believed would last, from our five areas of interest – Popular Music, Blues, Classical, Country and Jazz.
And yes, it might be old-school, but we think music still matters. Maybe not in the way it did last century, but civilization wouldn’t be the same without music: good music moves people, makes them happy, changes them. Ask anyone who ever picked up an instrument or wrote a lyric or lost themselves and found themselves through a favourite song.
We place no limit on when or where an album has been released, and are just as excited to review a seldom-heard recording from decades past as we are to feature up-and-coming artists of merit. Popularity and record sales seldom figure into our choice of material on the site. We don’t accept advertising and we don’t use AI to create our content.
