MORAL QUESTIONS I: Sebastian
Sebastian: 'Venerable' or 'Revered'
Welcome to my music website
I am very excited to tell you about the project, 'Moral Questions'.
M.Q. comprises of three parts, 'Moral Questions I, II & III'.
Using immersive and thematic experimental soundscapes ;
Music, Dance, Film and Visual Arts explore a myriad of moral questions.
Questions asked of individuals and society.
On 12th July, 2025, the Moral Questions I experience was premiered at Wembley (Fresh Arts Centre). Filmed by Qaiser Azim and edited by Sebastian. This emotionally charged debut performance featuring Dance, Film, Spoken word, Live & pre-recorded Music will be available online and limited edition/order CD in the fall of 2026.
As an Artist, Musician and Teacher, my creative energies come from many different sources and individuals. Like the many musicians I admire, I share an eclectic appreciation of working across musical genres and cultural styles. The compositions in 'Moral Questions I' explore themes of Life & Morality. This website offers an insight into my compositions, and approaches to working within themes, artists that move me. At times, the music references will be more obvious than others e.g. Jazz, Avant Garde, Classical, Ambient New Age and Contemporary World Music.
I see no barriers to whom or what music I take inspiration from.

Inspiring Art
The visual arts, a place for inspiration: A good friend of mine, Richenda Court RE, produced this exquisite print as part of a graphic novel. As you look closer, many intricacies, details and layers slowly reveal themselves. Visual questions seem to be sought and then answered. I instinctively connected with this piece and am very pleased that Richenda has given kind permission for me to use it as part of the overall design theme for 'Moral Questions'. I will be working with a number of other talented visual artists throughout this experience.
The Art of Improvisation
Trusting one's creative instincts, through the process of improvisation: Entering musically, the unknown is exciting. Only when each composition is complete, am I able to clearly see what it is that I am communicating consciously or otherwise. Most of my music is written in total isolation, born from improvisations and intertextuality. I would spend a further 9-11 months using a myriad of production techniques to 'overdub' on each recording. Working mainly with keyboards and percussion, I enjoy the fusion of electronic and acoustic instruments with sourced archive voice recordings. The culmination is a
themed audio soundscape.
