July, 2009 - "London Serenade" - latest release. It's been a long time but here's a new reproduced song from my "vintage production". I personally like this song a lot, takes me directly back to little corners and little moments I enjoyed a lot once.

Swedish guitarist, keyboardist, singer, songwriter and composer of usually melodic pop/rock/jazz songs and instrumental music. I produced a lot of music between the age of 15 to 30. I present here some of these "vintage" home recordings as well as a growing number of updated versions and new songs.
Why this name?
Simple! C Norden = Claes Nordén
Do you play live?
No, nowadays not.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
As a curious music listener it gives me access to brilliant, unknown musicians around the world.
As an artist it offers me a way to find an audience, on your own terms.
It is a pity though that this world of possibiities is so shadowed by the polarized fight between record companies and "pirates".

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I think this is not a valid scenario.
Band History:
I got my first guitar when I was seven. Started to play pop music, then went into classical and studied it for 10 years. Studied also piano 3 years. Started writing my own songs and music around the age of 15 and began making home productions. At university I gave performances at various occasions. Since then there´s been a slow but nevertheless uninterrupted evolution of my playing, practicing, composing, performing, and recording.
Your influences?
Al Stewart, Michael Franks, Supertramp & Cat Stevens for songs.
Pat Metheny, Jan Akkerman (Focus) for guitar and instrumental tunes.

Equipment used:
Classic, 12-stringed, and electric guitars. Piano, synthesizers. The "vintage" production was produced with home recording technology of the 70-80s. For the recent productions I use various sequencer, sound recording/editing, and vst instruments software.
