Jonas Asplund's music balances between music as an act and music as the Work of art. The compositions finds their energy on the border between fixed complex notation and graphical improvisation, a philosophical and psychological approach to the human act of composing.
Jonas has studied music and composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and at the University in Örebro for composers such as Gunnar Valkare, Anders Flodin, Rolf Enström, Olov Helge and Anders Nilsson. Jonas also studied composition for prof. Bernd Franke in Leipzig, Germany.
Jonas is a member of the Society of Swedish Composers (FST).

TSONAMI es además un punto de encuentro transdisciplinario en torno al arte contemporáneo y la temática del sonido.
Hello! You may enjoy the 1st movement of my piano sonata. In some ways it's very conservative, in other ways, not so much. Anyway, give it a listen if you get a chance!
A super-song, a mega-composition, something that astonishes people, that makes them sob, laugh and rejoice. No “sophisticated” art but no cheap entertainment either. Take the best of pop, jazz, tango, opera, operetta, klezmer, soul, blues, minimalist music, virtuosic violin-music (Paganini, Wienawsky, Sarasate) and so on, or compose your own style. Everything is fine as long as the audience is crazy about it. Concerning the playing technique the composition is expected to be sophisticated, challenging and unconventional. It is expected to combine new effects with innovative sounds and hot rhythms.
