notes

Glen Gabriel Jansson (aka “G” and “Glen Gabriel”) likes to see himself as a normal person who happened to like music since early age and took it upon himself to start learning how to compose it himself. At the age of 7 he was given his first little electronic synthesizer. He started immediately playing the tunes he would hear. He tried piano lessons but it didn’t do him any good because he didn’t feel he learned anything useful. He decided at that time that he would not doing anything else than just performing the music he had in his head. Glen’s favorite thing at first was to listen to music from movies and then copy them to his piano playing. He would sit and train himself to hear all the instruments in the song and play them individually.

While Glen has a vast array of interests and hobbies such as sports, acting, drawing, painting, dancing, writing and filmmaking, his strongest point was always his music.

Glen Gabriel’s first musical performance was a Christmas show in school 1996 where his music was played to the whole school. Since then there wasn’t much done except for having performed dancing on stage with audiences ranging between 500 to 900 people. In short, he has never had any stage fright.

Due to devoting most of his time to work and traveling between 1997 and 2005 he didn’t have much time for composing music. His main attention was to learn and listen to other music styles that suited him. Glen’s taste in music varies between movie music to electronica, 70s funk and disco, hard rock, drum n bass, big beat, breakbeat and many other styles. Glen’s biggest and most burning desire in music has been from films.

During 1997-2005 the industry of music being composed in synchronization with computers had grown to a large degree and Glen realized that if he was going to start making music again it would have to happen together with a computer. It wasn’t this old manual playing on some synthesizer.

Then in December 2005 Glen was introduced to the terrific technology of digital or should we say “computerized-music-making” where you have a plastic keyboard hooked up to a computer and can compose all kinds of music.

It took Glen 2-3 weeks to really get a hold of this “new” technology and he started to make a few songs after some time. During the time of his composing Glen developed his skills and way of playing as well. When Glen came to the end of his first album he had a big array of different types of music. There was soundtrack-like music, electro, techno, classical and a little world music to it. With this mixture of music styles Glen was thinking what order could he should put these songs so it still make sense and could be sold? The final conclusion was to publish his first album in CHRONOLOGICAL order!

Glen’s whole new album is put in chronological order with 15 individual songs because he thought it probably made it kind of interesting for anyone to listen to his songs in the sequence that he made them. In this way, anyone could follow Glen’s development in his music and also hear what he felt like trying out at the time.

It isn’t really known as to what kind of music genre Glen is composing. Some say that it is classical, film music, electro etc. In asking Glen what genre he would consider the music to be he would say the “G-genre”.

  • This is NOT background music!

    I bought this CD a few weeks ago and have been trying to write a review about it ever since. I had this insane fantasy I would listen to it while writing the review and comment on each track as it played. Impossible! You can't do ANYTHING with this CD playing except get blissfully lost in it! Your fingers will falter, your eyes will close, and reality will disappear as the music evokes images of space, giant lizards, and lost souls howling in the abyss. GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS. I almost never pay full price for a CD - I get everything used - but this was a noticeable exception and worth every penny.

  • unique, funky and it getts to you

    This music is for everyone no matter mood or preferences. This is the kind of tunes that kan make one happy if one is sad. I think that the songs touch you, they communicate, they leave a "mark" or a craving for more. Some of the best songs ive heard in a long time are on this CD. A must to anyone, not just to the fans of electronic music! Cheers!

    Glen Gabriel has created music that takes you on different journeys in your imagination. The song "060402 I'm in love" is my absolut favorite! I love it! It's so happy :D I completely recommend it!

  • Bloomin' Marvellous - buy it!

    It's not often that you get the chance to hear well crafted music from an almost unkown musician. Glen Gabriel's CD is classified as Classical but it's more than that. Many of the structures are classically reminiscent but the music as a whole is emotive. Each track's title reflects the emotions and moods of the tracks themselves and there is a large range of styles into which Glen's muse must have travelled before giving him inspiration. In short - buy this CD. Whether you like instrumental music, progressive rock, (normal) rock, chillout, trance, or whatever your taste is, there will be something for you on it. Cheers, Terry (aka Purple Rhapsody)

    Glen Gabriel is a wonderful musician. Truely one of the best CDs I have listen to in awhile. A combination of orchestrial and angelic harmonic voices done very beautifully.

    Fantastic music! It really does bring instrumental music to a whole new level. Comfortable to listen to and makes you want to hear more and more and more. Creates an emotional impact and since the songs are in chronological order you follow Glen Gabriel as he develops and what he is going through. I would not really listen to this type of music, I like it rough, but all my friends who listened to it say the same, this is music for EVERYONE!

  • This is a sure buy!
    author: Alex

    This CD offers plenty of surprises and in my opinion takes instrumental music to a new level. The music keeps you interested in whats to come and since the songs are in chronological order you get to go on the same journey as the creator. I am already waiting for the follow up. Buy this CD!
