A musical portrait
Like a portrait by an artist — only it sounds.
You tell me about someone or something that matters to you. I compose and play it on the piano, live, while you listen. The recording is yours to keep and return to whenever you like — no one else will ever have this piece.

How it works
Three simple steps, about 20 minutes in total.
Share your story
Book a time and fill out a short form about your moment, your person, your mood.
Meet me live
We hop on a 20-minute video call. We talk for a few minutes, then I close my eyes and play — improvising your music in real time.
Keep it forever
Within 24 hours you receive the full recording, beautifully packaged — yours to keep, share, or gift.
Why live matters
This isn't a file from a catalog. It's a human being, listening to you, answering with music — composed for one person: you.
Every session is composed for one person: you. No presets, no shortcuts, no algorithms guessing at what a memory should sound like. Just breath, hands, and the story you told me minutes before.
A glimpse of a session
Improvised live — composed for one person: you.
This is a real fragment from a session — the moment when the conversation ends and the music begins. Nothing here was written down or rehearsed.
Perfect for
Moments that ask for music.
An anniversary gift that no one else could give
A goodbye to a chapter of life — a job, a city, a year
A tribute to someone you love
A moment just for yourself
Kind words
I gave the recording to my husband for our anniversary and he loved it. He appreciated Sergey's talent and said the recording quality is excellent.
I thought it was a personalised gift — it turned out to be much more. Those 15 minutes healed something in me. I felt better afterwards, and I still come back to my music from time to time.
This experience left me speechless for a moment. I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it to my friends.

About the pianist
Thirty years at the piano. Only ever improvising.
I've spent most of my life listening — to rooms, to silences, to the way someone's voice changes when they talk about the person they love. Improvisation, for me, has always been a form of listening out loud.
Piano Portrait is what happens when I turn that practice toward one person at a time. No audience, no stage — just your story, and the music it asks for.
— With warmth, Sergey
