Songs about Time

2020

"Songs about Time", album by the Polish pianist and composer Sebastian Zawadzki. The album is a unique blend of classical, ambient and experimental music, and was recorded with prominent artists - strings quartet NeoQuartet, vocal ensemble The Art of Escapism and Sebastian on pianos and synths.

​

Songs About Time is a contemporary classical work by Sebastian Zawadzki for piano, upright piano, string quartet and voices. Exploring themes of memory, change and the passing of time, the music combines intimate chamber music textures with cinematic atmosphere and emotional depth.

Built around the interaction between piano, strings and the human voice, the compositions unfold through lyrical melodies, evolving harmonies and subtle shifts in colour and texture. Each piece invites the listener into a contemplative sonic landscape where emotion and atmosphere take precedence over virtuosity.

Blending elements of contemporary classical composition, chamber music and cinematic storytelling, Songs About Time creates a listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive. The combination of strings, voices and piano allows the music to move naturally between moments of fragility, reflection and quiet intensity.

Songs About Time reflects Sebastian Zawadzki's ongoing exploration of contemporary classical music, bringing together piano, string quartet and voices in a deeply personal work shaped by melody, atmosphere and emotional narrative.
