About Me

cassetto is a non-profitable organization from malmo, sweden. cassetto is a service oriented business. cassetto delivers sound solutions in the form of music played by the cassetto employees.

cassetto's policy is a conceptual tripod consisting of "The Patience Approach", "The Jazz Approach" and "The How-Not-What Approach".

The Patience approach

cassetto's employees do not spend their time exclusively on cassetto. hence cassetto may not always be able to deliver, but when cassetto delivers, cassetto delivers genuine sounds of great depth and sincerity.

cassetto means quality, not quantity

The Jazz approach

cassetto's main focus is not to build new songs from scratch, instead cassetto will frequently reuse high quality material originally built by other entrepreneurs in the business, and transform these solutions into something that is cassetto. fortunately this does not mean that cassetto is a so called "entertainment business" with a "customer first" strategy. on the contrary, cassetto is an "art and experience business" and cassetto knows everything about quality and personality. cassetto is not a jukebox.

cassetto's crew are rigid performers, not rigid originalists

The How-Not-What Approach

what songs cassetto will deliver at any given time is of less importance, compared to the manner in which the songs will be delivered. if cassetto had a motto, it would be something like "it's not what you do, it's how you do it". therefore it is likely that cassetto will often practise realtime sound development (often called improvisation) as well within the structures of existing solutions as without structure whatsoever.

cassetto is a sound business, not a song business
