Established in 2004, Melisma began as a means for Tufts students to share their love of underground music and culture. Over the years it has evolved to become a vibrant publication and community of music enthusiasts who enjoy listening to and discussing music of all genres and levels of popularity.

Melisma produces and publishes two print issues a year, providing an outlet for our music-savvy members to highlight greater trends in the music industry, analyze the intersections between music & culture, and even make silly light-hearted quizzes.

In addition to the print issues, Melisma also provides students with the opportunity to attend (for free) & review concerts in Boston as official members of the press, and on occasion, even interview musicians. We cover both local, independent music relevant to Tufts, and touring musicians passing through the area.

Should you be a Tufts student who is interested in joining us, you can reach us via e-mail or Instagram. We are always looking for writers, photographers, graphic designers, but no prior experience is needed. Even if you’re just a cool person with a deep love for music, we’d love to have you :)
