I am a retired physician who has been a life long pianist and music lover.  Despite a busy professional career outside of music, I have managed to practice the piano daily, gradually learning new pieces, and expanding my piano repertory.  I began recording my piano repertory over thirty years ago.

My musical training started out on the accordion at age six.  Later in my early teens, I began to play the piano, developing an instant love for the great piano classics of Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart and Bach.  I took formal music lessons through undergraduate college, and have been self taught since then.  

At the age of 21, I moved to New York City to study medicine, and purchased the then just published "Complete Rags of Scott Joplin".  Thus began a lifelong love for American classic ragtime.  At the age of 40,  I discovered the tangos and waltzes of Ernesto Nazareth, instantly becoming another one of my true loves in the vast worldwide piano literature.    My current performance and recorded repertory includes music from the Baroque, Classic, Romantic and Modern periods.  At one time, I took a run at playing all of the Scarlatti keyboard sonatas - I am still on this run as it is a true marathon, not a sprint!   At the present time I am studying the Inventions and Sinfonias of J.S. Bach.   My most recent repertory includes "new tangos" by Astor Piazzolla, the Anniversary pieces of Leonard Bernstein, and the Etudes of Philip Glass.  I hope to present recording in the near future these and other composers with upcoming tracks on SoundCloud. 

In the 1980s, I began to do home recordings of my piano repertory.  My initial recordings were acoustic on tape, but were not terribly successful.  However in the 1990s, I began to record digitally using my electric piano and midi software.    Currently all of my recordings are done using my Technics Electric Piano using Apple Garage Band software.  I realize the sound using the virtual Ivory Grand Piano software.  Recording digitally has been a much more successful tool for me than recording acoustically. 

Over the years I have put together seven different privately issued CDs using recorded tracks from my "Piano Diaries".  These CDs have been shared with family and friends as Christmas gifts.  

in 2014 I I began sharing my music on SoundCloud with a wider audience, beginning with my "Twelve Classic American Rags" which I recorded in 2009.  I've been very gratified and pleased with the response that these rags elicited from the worldwide SoundCloud community.  I have also encountered, enjoyed and been in turn influenced by many other piano artists and composers that I follow through SoundCloud.  For a amateur piano artist, SoundCloud has allowed me to expand to an audience a d interact with other artists that I never dreamed possible when I began studying the piano fifty years ago.

Lena Selyanina started to play piano at the age of five and got her musical education in Saratov Conservatory. In year 2005 she joined the creative forces of netlabel Musictrade and started to contribute neoclassical instrumental material for ambient albums produced in co-operation with the Finnish producer Doc. Doc and Lena have published already eight full albums together. Apart from ambient work with Doc, Lena keeps composing and recording her own solo piano pieces. In July 2008 she debuted as a singer with a choral remake of the Russian folk classic Oi Da Ne Vecher.

Classically trained pianist. I enjoy playing not only the traditional repertoire but also pieces from unusual composers.

Multi-instrumentalist KJ Hagan lives and works in a quietly historic part of London. He divides his time between his instruments and tending the rare woodland species Ghost Orchid (Epipogium aphyllum).

Inspired and influenced equally by 1970's British TV themes and the works of composers such as Mompou, Ponce, Glass and Part, some of these solo instrumental tracks have found their way to their spiritual home on BBC Radio 3, while others have been used to underscore short animated movies for charities.

KJ Hagan continues to search for his musical Holy Grail: a melody married to a chord progression that will deliver surprise, nostalgia, longing and delight... all at once.
