This is part of my Music & Score Series, so you can also grab the sheet music if you’d like to play it yourself. Available on Bandcamp via this link:

About a month ago, I launched and announced Headphone Community – a special place where independent artists can connect with their supporters in an intimately curated space. The first and currently featured artist is James Murray, whose music I have been covering for over a decade now. We’re only halfway through the month, and so far, I have already published an exclusive track premiere [unavailable anywhere else], an interview with Murray [he’s usually very reserved about sharing his process and technique], and a shout-out to his imprint Slowcraft [including a 50% off discount code to anything in the label’s catalogue, exclusive to the members]. And, yes, I tend to believe that for only $1 a month, as a subscriber, you get immense value for your contribution, not to mention that every dollar raised will go back to the artist! So, I feel very optimistic about the entire project and (on some mornings) proud.

But there is another thing that has been happening behind the scenes. As I began to highlight this artist and spend more time with his sound throughout the month, I started to truly connect with his music on a level much deeper than ever before. Yes, I have already lauded his 2022 album, Careful Now, as one of the best of that year, but as I listened to it again and again and again, it started to open up beyond its sonic medium. It became more than just music – a conversation between a composer and a listener, and suddenly… I really heard. This active and heightened experience of listening reminded me of the very early days of discovering the beauty of music – when I used to nestle with an album for months and years at a time. In the last greatly accelerating decades of social media, algorithms, and time-sliced attention spans, I feel like I’ve been robbed of that. And now, I’m bringing it all back. 

Today’s track premiere is from Murray’s upcoming EP, Clearings, scheduled to be released via Home Normal in April. It’s an alternative mix of one of the pieces from Careful Now, showcasing the evolution of the track with an intimate glimpse into its transition and the final shape. Read more about this alternate version directly from James on Headphone Community.

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

"Crescent Moon” was originally inspired by the first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata - a piece I’ve always been fascinated by. There’s something timeless in the way it draws so much emotion from such simple material. That quality is at the heart of what I was trying to explore.

Hey – it’s me again!
This is Talking to Ghosts — the second release from my ongoing project Cycles I.

I’ve refined my TouchOSC loop engine for this one, making it easier to switch between loops in real time. It’s a quiet but important step forward in my setup — less distraction, more flow.

The piece itself has a strange kind of presence. The loops start talking back. Layers appear, disappear, reappear — like echoes of something that was once there. Or maybe still is.

Over the past weeks, this piece slowly became more personal. As the anniversary of my brother’s death approached, certain memories and emotions began to resurface — quietly, insistently.
I didn’t plan for it to become personal, but somehow it did.
There’s a feeling of reaching out — not knowing who (or what) might answer. A sense of speaking into something unseen, hoping to hear something in return.

Maybe that’s what looping is: a conversation with what’s left behind.

The world is shifting — AI, music, identity, everything. I’m trying to figure out what it means to exist as an artist right now. What can I offer? What am I even trying to say? I don’t have answers yet. But this is part of the search.

Let me know what you think of the piece — and of this format.
It means a lot to hear from you.

Yours truly,
Sebastian
