Unheard of Hope presents
Stefan Wesołowski
Song of the Night Mists: (Organ, Cello, Violin, Flutes, electronics)
Polish composer Stefan Wesołowski presents a rare Live Organ performance of Song of the Night Mists (label: Unheard of Hope, 2025). This special configuration expands the album into a spatial composition shaped by architectural resonance, sustained harmonic tension, and long-form structures. The performance features violin, piano, cello, flutes and live electronics, with Piotr Wesołowski on pipe organ. Sustained organ harmonics unfold against piano resonance and analog synthesis, creating slow-moving forms that feel monumental rather than decorative. This is not ambient as background, but contemporary composition performed at full depth.
Over the past decade, Stefan Wesołowski has established himself as one of the strongest voices in the new European post-classical generation. His work stands in dialogue with the lineage of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Krzysztof Penderecki, extending that tradition into darker, more austere and texturally focused territory.
His compositions have been performed by the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, AUKSO Orchestra, Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra and Orquesta Sinfónica de Entre Ríos in Argentina. He has also composed for cinema, including the feature flm Wolf (Focus Features), starring Lily-Rose Depp and George MacKay, the BAFTA-nominated documentary Listen to Me Marlon (Universal) and New York Times-acclaimed series Eastern Gate (HBO Max).
“Horribly satisfying!” - UNCUT
“An ambitious work with an almost apocalyptic favor, touching on the most important matters.” - NewMusic
“Music that mixes infuences such as Prokofev, Gregorian chants, Steve Reich or even Michael Mann.” - Vice
