About the artist
I am a pianoplayer / composer ( member of STIM in Sweden), but originally - and maybe foremost - an author of books on philosophical and literary matters , and am also a figurative artist.
Formerly I was playing alto- and tenor saxophones and the clarinet, playing jazz music.( My first instrument was a wooden clarinet of French origin, at the age of 11.) I am entirely - and ... by principle - an autodidact in music.
All the same,(?) I have made some music for the Swedish main public TV. ( The "Sad song" .). Today I mostly use the piano but finally a computer software for composing. .... - I especially love the music of J. S. Bach , G. Fr. Handel , D. Scarlatti and G. Cassado, Irene Kitchings, Elton John and Shel Silverstein, - am also ( of course !) rather crazy about the piano improvisations of the fabulous Earl Bud´ Powell ,( I am trying to get hold of everything he ever recorded..; He is - as far as I am concerned - the best piano player ever born.) ... and I like Chet Baker, and the great Ornette Coleman and the excellent Mr. Booker Little as well ......Problems concerning meaning in music, "phrase as gesture" are important to me.
A cousin of my mother, Jules Sylvain, (1900-1968) was perhaps the most productive composer in my country of Swedish popular and film music , during his time.----
I may finally add I , myself, have a habit of ..... going for long walks.

Mendelssohn ..... Written on 2011-12-22 by Kaj Genell Now I am at work again , and I
am enjoying the green winter
in Sweden. Studies of
Mendelssohn´s famous
violin concerto.... and
getting used to my sound card
of the main computer. Thus I
am working my way slowly
forward ( I suppose ), and
wish everybody to have a
Happy New Year ! Tigea Music
Haendel, listening .... Written on 2011-11-28 by Kaj Genell Now, all I do - almost -
musically nowadays, is
listening to G. Haendel, Op. 6
Contri Grossi and to His
sonatas for violin, cello and
harpsichord. I enjeoy it to
the bottom of whatever there
is...... Very content with
listening to this every day.
--- To be contented is not
anything I am used to. It will
probably not last long. :)
On "Whirle dance (septet version)". Written on 2011-11-22 by Kaj Genell There is a Big Band version
with lots of horns and such on
my ordinary web site
tigeamusic.com in cathegory
"jazz". This is a
mini version. The Big Band
whould have been 76 PDF pages
big.( The guitar solos are
identical though. ) Tigea Music
On "Sorrel".The organ version. ( For information ) Written on 2011-11-13 by Kaj Genell Another version of
"Sorrel" for Organ
can be found on YouTube, where
I have the alias
"burtwillow" and it
is the music to the video
" L´avenue de
Gotembourg".
"Sorrel" in this
other - perhaps more
structuraqlly complicated -
version can be found too on
the music site :"Reverb
Nation" ( under the name
of .... Kaj Genell ) , in low
bitrate version though, (
because it is so very long, it
was na admitted in better
quality ...... ). Tigea Music
Problem. Cannot get the right sound.... in the samples. Written on 2011-10-30 by Kaj Genell I have to think it over .. How
I will be able to mix my
tunes, so that others hear
them in the same way as I do.
I guess I will have to listen
to a lot of music that is
familiar to me and well mixed
and then ajust the settings
according to the
familiarity... Anybody that
has any other suggestion.

New audio card Written on 2011-09-23 by Kaj Genell WOW! Installed a new audiocard
( Creative Sound Blaster XFi
Go!) from which the mp3-files
sound very, very different. Is
there anybody who knows
something about this card?
Should I use it, the files
must almost be remixed. Tigea Music

Separate parts on "The crossing".... Written on 2011-05-01 by Kaj Genell Now I have added separate
parts on my updated "The
crossing", a tune
orchestrated for a 22 piece
band.
Meanwhile I try to change
software ( i.e. : to learn how
to handle a new purchase of
such a tool .... ),- all in
due order, so that I can - in
a near future - present
graphically neater scores.
----- My main occupation is -
though - to exercise on my
piano, .... as well as -now
and then - actually try to
play on it . Tigea Music
