// Passage Of Time – Notes From The Shore

Long before his recent projects, composer and musician Sebastian Morawietz crafted a piece that captured a deeply personal connection with nature. Written during his time living in Liverpool, Waterloo — named after the small seaside town just outside the city — has now resurfaced, offering a fresh glimpse into the quiet reflections that shaped his early work.

Back then, Morawietz often took the train to Waterloo, drawn by the calming presence of the shoreline. These walks became a kind of ritual, a way to gather his thoughts and reconnect with something larger than himself. For him, the sea was not just scenery; it was a teacher. Vast, powerful, and timeless, it evoked a profound sense of humility and wonder.

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

When he recently rediscovered Waterloo and sat down to play it again, the experience felt strikingly intimate. Rather than simply revisiting an old composition, it became a dialogue — a quiet conversation between the searching and the still, the questioning and the calm. This sense of exchange shaped the piece’s structure, giving it a contemplative rhythm that mirrors the ebb and flow of the tide.

In accompanying the music with visuals, Morawietz opted for simplicity, seeking not to overwhelm but to hint at the subtle inner process behind the piece. Although still experimenting with visual storytelling, he sees the video as an extension of the original dialogue — a silent exchange between artist and the greater forces of nature.

Through Waterloo, Sebastian Morawietz invites listeners into that sacred space he once found on the Liverpool coast: a place where the vastness of the sea meets the vulnerability of human thought, and where silence speaks louder than words.
