Naming my Magazine

This was potentially one of the most difficult tasks I have had to do so far in my media. I spent hours traipsing through music websites and dictionaries only to make a shortlist of very few averagely good names:
  • Trance
  • Fret
  • Vamp
  • Riff
These are the only four words that I could in vision on the front of a music magazine. I chose "Riff" as it has the most relevance to the industry and is the most recognised as being related to music out of all four of these.

riff

1[rif]
–noun
1.a melodic phrase, often constantly repeated, forming an accompaniment or part of an accompaniment for a soloist.

I associate this word with mainly acoustic music but this isn't how it should be perceived as it relates to all genres of music.
Due to the aggressive sound of the name caused by the -ff suffix, I feel like I could take advantage of it to excuse having quite abstract and weird photographs within it. I am happy with this name and can't wait to experiment with it.
