Life

duet with cello

Originally composed for Thanassis Triaridis' play "Zyklon or the Destiny", this haunting score by Manos Milonakis returns with re-recorded parts, new mixing and mastering by Christos Megas, and stunning artwork by Tilman Z.

Inspired by themes of confinement, dark energy, and temporal suspension, Zyklon combines classical strings, evocative piano, music boxes, and cosmic electronic textures. Featuring Müriel Bostdorp (piano), Christina Georgeli (violin), Elisso Papastrati (violin), Thodoris Papadimitriou (cello), Björk Oskarsdottir (violin), and collaborations with Jacob David (piano) and Gregoire Blanc (theremin), the album bridges the past and present in a unique sonic narrative.

Hey, it’s me again!
This piece has a long history. I wrote it many years ago, back when I was living in Liverpool. The original title was Waterloo – named after the small seaside town just outside the city. I often took the train out there, just to walk along the shore and gather my thoughts.

The sea has always had a deep, humbling power to me – vast, strong, timeless. It teaches you humility. Being near it felt like standing next to something ancient and wise.

Recently, I rediscovered this piece and played it again. It felt like a quiet conversation with the sea – me asking, the sea answering. That’s how I shaped the sections of the piece: a dialogue between the searching and the still, the questioning and the calm.

The visuals in the video are simple – I’m still learning and experimenting – but they’re meant to hint at that inner process, that silent exchange with something greater.

Thank you for listening.

Yours truly,
Sebastian Morawietz

Passage Of Time (Notes From The Shore)

Video: https://youtu.be/AfVQB4Bo_v8
First, a confession.
I don’t play Etude No.1 as fast as Mr. Glass indicated in his score. The honest truth? It’s a little too fast for me—and for Mme Bechstein, as I call my piano. But perhaps that’s part of the charm of this version: it’s a bit slower, more grounded. And in that space, something opens up. The dynamic expression has room to breathe. The tempo becomes a gently rising tide, like waking up slowly, aligning fingers, mind, and breath into harmony.

Admittedly, this is a rather personal interpretation. I’m not entirely sure Mr. Glass would give it his blessing. But then again, it is an etude—and I find this piece simply wonderful.

Over the past weeks, it has become something of a quiet companion in the early hours of the day. I’ve worked from the published score, gradually sketching my own notation to help understand how the sections interlock, how the pulse shifts and evolves. This slow discovery revealed a surprising depth—a kind of secret logic running beneath the surface.

There’s something endlessly captivating about Glass’s harmonic language. It’s modern, never cloying, and crafted with quiet intelligence. His use of subtle shifts—almost imperceptible at first—creates patterns that, through repetition, become almost meditative.

This recording isn’t about perfection or polish and not meant to compete with the many beautiful renditions already out there, performed on the most luxurious grand pianos. It’s my personal take—played honestly, on my own instrument, at my own pace. A moment captured in sound, without the pressure to impress.

If you’re a pianist—especially one still finding their way, as I am—I warmly encourage you to spend time with this piece. It has a way of revealing itself slowly, like light unfolding across a morning room. And perhaps, in its simplicity, you’ll find something of yourself reflected there.

I’d love to hear how this piece resonates with you. Leave a comment if you’d like to share your thoughts or your own experience with Glass’s music.

Yours truly,
Sebastian Morawietz

Studio Diaries: Glass Etude No.1 – My Morning Ritual

Hey, it’s me again.

Today’s post is a quiet snapshot from a rainy afternoon in the studio. I was sitting at the Bechstein, playing around with textures and loops, and this short improvisation just happened — simple, moody, and full of echo.

It’s part of an ongoing shift I feel in my work: towards more atmosphere, more grain, more space. The setup is still evolving, but this recording captures a moment of transition — somewhere between felt piano and layered soundscapes. A loop emerged, and I followed it.

If you’d like to see the video version of this moment, you can find it here:

And as always — if it resonates, feel free to leave a like or share a thought. Thanks for listening.

Yours truly,

Hey, it’s me again

This is Memory Loop — a live recording from my ongoing Studio Diaries series, and the very first release from my new upcoming project Cycles I.

At the heart of this project is a dialogue between my acoustic piano — Mme Bechstein — and a digital environment I’ve been quietly building over the past months.
With a custom TouchOSC controller on the iPad, the whole setup has become an instrument of its own. It lets me improvise freely, shape sounds in real time, experiment with live-looping — and stay focused, fully in the flow, without distraction.

This is just the beginning.
I’ll keep refining and expanding this setup in the coming weeks, and Cycles I will grow from here — one piece at a time.

Thanks for listening.
Let me know what you think — I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Yours truly,
Sebastian

Memory Loop (Live Looping Session)

Today marks the arrival of the first glimpse into "Letters to a Summer Past", the upcoming album by beloved German pianist and composer Mats Raynard, releasing this August on ad21.

This new piece "Warm Rain (pure version) is a beautifully melancholic piano composition. Calm and intimate, it invites the listener into a quiet world of memory, warmth and emotional depth.
A poetic prelude to a summer that once was… and still lingers.
