Sebastian Szymanski, born and raised in Warsaw, Poland from the year of 1982, has been composing music from the age of 10. He's never had professional tuition in music, but plans to in the near future.
Szymanski's music has a strong bearing in religious themes. His pieces are instrumental, but often feature choral movements. Usually featuring in some part of each track, Piano is also a prominent part of his creations.
The music of Sebastian Szymanski is listed on his myspace page as visual; this is very fitting due to the above mentioned biblical symbolism, which gives the pieces a true sense of worth. This invaluableness is felt by the listener as an almost comprehensible structure; it feels as if the music really is saying something to you, the listener. Special tracks which pull away from the classical roots of Szymanski are Metropolis, which is a duo of Piano with Horn, and Song for Her -- a delicate composition on Piano.
Sebastian Szymanski's music is like the town he grew up in; it bears many stories, often sad; it is somewhat grave, but underlying all this is a profound beauty, that silently links itself to its listener.
