Three years abroad, I feel that my life is like a "Long Journey". At this point, I can see the sea of Greece from far away, and I realize it is something very far that I miss. The sea has its own sound, a journey near sea has it own sound. If you like traveling, you will discover that every journey has its own purpose. A "Long Journey" is a journey that lasts more than a small journey like the ones we make in summer. My journey in Poland is one of these long journeys, and I have learned a lot from it. Therefore, a long journey is a journey that help us to explore ourselves.

Long Journeys

This is something I tried to compose for the birthday of my lovely Monia. Every human being has two sides: the side that we can see, and the one that we cannot. The transparent side that thoughts and dreams exist within.

Monia's Dream

In a Greek island far far away, there is the church of Seven Martyrs where you can hear the waves from far distance to murmur the secret ancient sound of nature. Probably a minimalist composition of mine. Consciously, I decided to have a very simple left hand that repeats two notes, like the silent murmur of the sea near this church. The melody, as simple as the pattern of left hand, repeats with small variations. All the piece  is in the same scale.

The Church of Seven Martyrs -  Το Εκκλησάκι των Επτά Μαρτύρων

This is a piece I composed 4 years ago, my last year I was living in Greece. It sounds like a piano etude for fast arpeggios in impressionistic style. As always water is the dominant element in my compositions. There is a small surprise somewhere in this piece.

It is an old recording. Probably, I recorded it with my phone. Thus, I would like to apologize if the quality of sound is not good enough. However, I think that it deserves a place in my collection of improvisations.

Isn't the sea so beautiful?!

Once I Dreamed The Sea -  Κάποτε ονειρεύτηκα την θάλασσα

This is an experimental piano piece inspired by the heavy rains and flooding in Poland yesterday, which displaced many from their homes. My thoughts are with everyone affected, as we face similar situations in Greece every year. This composition reflects the rain and its aftermath.

Although it leans toward the experimental, I hope it resonates with listeners beyond classical piano enthusiasts. Interestingly, I fell ill after walking in the rain while composing this, so the piece now holds an unexpected association with that experience...

Rain (Deszcz)

A reflection in the water, a reflection in the mirror.

The reflection represents a physical concept. Something that has experienced each one of us. Sometimes, the light reflects in unexpected ways and we are surprised by its beauty.

This is a piece for the reflection. I was a bit undecided with this, I re-uploaded it several times. But I will keep it as it is now. Anyway, the reflection is still a reflection. Have fun!

Reflections

Autumn comes, and the darkness soon will cover the light of the sun. Soon all of us will be just victims of the darkness. And as darkness is coming something sweet and beautiful approaches our hearts.

Elegie (for left hand)

This is the little music of Dr Kotek. Something calm in mood of the night, a bit more jazzy and modern with a bit more weird harmonies.

The Little Music of Dr Kotek

Have you ever thought how you would like if you made different choices and all the reality around you would be completely different? Today it is 7:52, I am in Warsaw, and I work on my PhD, and piano is my break from the stressful flow of the daily life. My main activities are research, gym, shopping, spending time with my fiance. However, there is another one Universe where BPC does different things. How we could know if he is still happy and what he does there? Maybe in this life I am not a scientist, maybe I did not decide to move abroad, maybe everything looks completely different, maybe even my personality is different. Who we are finally, if our past shapes so much who we are?

Me in a Different Universe

This is my interpretation of a classical piece that I really like. It is not my own composition, but you can enjoy the dark and mysterious sound of Scriabin. I love how he puts so many things in so small space.

Alexander Scriabin - Prelude Op.11 Nr.10

This is another one elegetic dark piece from me. My inspiration was a very bad incident in Greece, in Τέμπη, where two trains hit each other and many people died. This incident was a wound in the heart of the Greek people who are protesting against government incapability for many years. I wish you safe and beautiful journeys!

A Breath

A smooth, slightly experimental electric piano piece, composed in a single day of rare comfort. It reflects the bittersweet feeling of drifting further away from music under the weight of responsibilities, yet still holding on to its warmth.

Butter Piano

Imagine that all the clouds in the sky, all the darkness surrounding this land, are not just weather, but the result of a Dark Sun.

A silent sun, watching us from above with ancient, superior eyes. It does not burn, it does not blind—it only observes. Waiting.

It pities us, not out of cruelty, but because it understands what we could be. And still, it sees what we are.

A Dark Day of Sun

A gentle piano alarm, composed as a tender way to greet the morning. This piece is dedicated to all the dreams that slip away—whether lost in sleep or in waking life. To the goals and expectations that remain unfulfilled, yet still linger within us. To those quiet demons disguised as angels, reminding us of what could have been.

When the Dream Fades

I return to it, the old structure, where the years settle in the dust and the air is thick with family. It is a place held together by the weave of memory, both the gilded light of youth and the shadows of old grief. Joy and conflict live side-by-side in every uneven floorboard. The house held a steady, persistent warmth—a defiance against the cold world outside. Though strained and flawed, this is the root. We do not select the ground from which our first fire springs; we can only gather the heat it is able to give.

My Old Home

These days I am searching for a quiet corner inside myself. Life feels heavy, full of unfinished tasks, expectations, and this strange pressure to always push forward. Sometimes the world looks like a place shaped by forces that want to bend us, rush us, or break us. And beyond our own circles there is real darkness, people who choose to spread pain, people whose decisions can wound entire nations.

This track is my small escape. A moment to breathe, to let doubt speak honestly, and to look for a bit of light in all the noise. It is my way of reaching for peace, even when the world tries to pull it away.

Looking for Peace

I am a being who composes piano music. Enjoy!

You can call me Sebastian.
