	Erik Satie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Satie as precursor: the only "precursor" discussion Satie was involved in during his lifetime was whether or not he was a precursor of Claude Debussy, but many would follow.
		Over the years Satie would be described as a precursor of movements and styles as varied as Impressionism, neo-classicism, Dada, Surrealism, atonalism, minimalism, conceptual art, the Theatre of the Absurd, muzak, ambient music, multimedia art, etc., and as taking the first steps towards techniques such as prepared piano and music-to-film synchronisation.
		Satie and compositions in three parts: although many of his compositions (e.g., most of the pre-war piano pieces) were indeed in three parts, there is no general rule in this respect.

	The Ensemble Sospeso - Erik Satie
		Satie loathed his seven years at what he later called ‘a sort of local penitentiary’ and was described by Descombes in 1881 as the ‘laziest student in the Conservatoire’.
		Satie also needed somewhere even cheaper and less distracting in which to live and work, and to this end he moved to the southern suburb of Arcueil at the end of 1898.
		Satie was suddenly seen (in his second Sarabande) as a harmonic forerunner of Impressionism: he became a focus for young composers, and Debussy conducted his orchestrations of the Gymnopédies two months later at the Salle Gaveau, upsetting their composer by being jealous of their success.

	Erik Satie: introduction
		Satie was considered as an outsider, a lone wolf with projects of his own.
		The Satie House is not a traditional museum ; their goal is to recreate the universe of Erik Satie through original scenography which combines light, image, objects, in a decoration which makes it possible to apprehend the singular and complex personality of Satie : whimsical and humorous, but also mystical and dadaïst.

	CD Baby: ERIC MCCARL: Atlantis Lost (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Atlantis Lost, the second release from artist Eric McCarl and the second in a 3 CD series titled The Trilogy of Light, is a 15 song unique voyage to the mythical lost continent of Atlantis.
		Eric has been compared to such great composers as Chopin, Debussy, Eric Satie and Ravel, as well as pianists Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans and Erroll Garner.
		Eric explains Atlantis Lost as "A Jazz Odyssey, wrapped in a New Age Solo instrumental, masquerading as an impressionistic voyage that begins with my interpretation of Mozart's Symphony number 25 in G minor.

	French Culture \| Music \| Thibaudet Plays Satie Contest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The music of Erik Satie has a unique place in the genre of classical music, with a universality and timelessness that is accessible by music listeners of nearly any temperament.
		Satie more or less invented the airy, ethereal and often humorous sound world that helped lure Debussy, particularly, away from the prevailing heaviness of the music of Wagner and Brahms.
		Satie's selection of fewer, unexpected note combinations yielded a radical new, "modern" meaning to a world that had been saturated in excess.

	PostClassic:
		Satie infected us all with a virus - a lamentable lack of ambition, perhaps, an unwillingness to be pompous except in jest, an appreciation of pleasures too simple and obvious for school-room explication, a refusal to spend one’s life trying to get into the history books by outdoing one’s competitors.
		Satie has passed from the "ignored" stage to the ridicule, and my sense is that he's already entered into the final stage before academic acceptance -- namely, the point at which he gets ferociously attacked.
		Socrate, is Satie's slight concession to what might be called a more traditional dramatic form, in the context of a work that is revolutionary in its new approach to drama, and in its alteration of the relationship between listener and sound-object.

		French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) was perceived as a musical rebel, turning away from the grandiose ideas of the Romantics in favor of a simpler, more youthful style.
		Satie's piano music ranges from the humorous, as in the Sonatine Bureaucratique, elegant, like the waltz, Je te veux, atmospheric, like the immensely popular Gymnopédies, and almost everything else in between.
		Satie more or less invented the airy, ethereal and often humorous sound world that helped lure Debussy, particularly, away from the prevailing seriousness of the music of Wagner and Brahms.

	Eric Satie
		Satie was an outsider and a lonewolf all his life.
		Bredel (1982, 79) suggests that Satie may have meditated inside it, or that it was somehow linked to his fascination with magic, ritual, sorcerers and things occult that so often surfaces in his drawings and writings.
		I have so many ideas to accommodate!' While Satie may have joked to the last, there is still a pathetic element in his intransigence; in his inability to realize even the least part of his escapist vision.

		Eric Satie was born in 1866, in the town of Hornfleur in Northern France.
		In 1879, Satie went to Paris, and successfully auditioned to study piano at the Paris Conservatoire.
		When Satie was introduced to the famous 'Chat Noir' cabaret in 1887, he did not want to be classified as a musician, so he declared himself to be a Gymnopediste, though nobody was sure what it meant.

		However, Satie did not set out to please anyone, of any age or status, and satisfying the public's desires was never a concern for him.
		Although Satie did not produce music for the common people, he became very popular with composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, who were extremely impressed with his new and fresh musical ideas.
		The majority of Satie's compositions are comprised of three pieces with each piece representing three different viewpoints of a single musical concept.

		Satie's word seems to mean "naked boys", but the (pseudo-)Greek suggests that these are his reflections on the beauty of form of naked young men exercising or just relaxing.
		Satie collaborated with Cocteau, Picasso and Massine in 1924 for the second ballet.
		Satie was against the strong influence of German music on the French in the early part of the 20th century.

		Satie also introduced himself as a "gymnopedist" (in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies).
		Satie can be seen as a serial precursor, streets ahead of many 20th century avant-garde artistic ideas, see below.
		He is best known as Erik Satie (he exchanged, from his first composition in 1884, the 'c' at the end of his first name for a 'k').

		Satie loved the sound of Gregorian chants, and transferred the serenity and continuity of melody from these chants into his own works.
		Vinot's other skill was that he composed slow waltzes for a local orchestral society, and the concept of popular light music is embedded in much of Satie's work.
		While Debussy selected descriptive titles with care, and painted sound pictures that were intended to convey their meaning, Satie mocked this style with meaningless titles.

		Ciccolini always played Satie's music as though it had been written by Claude Debussy, not by some cheap charlatan or uneducated primitive (which, to an extent that is still debatable, Satie was).
		Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Eric Satie were drinking buddies; it shouldn't be surprising that their work, though in different media, should bear striking similarities.
		Satie was an anti-romantic composer, at the point of creating the "furniture-music" (musique dameublement) which refuses that music could be so expressive as romantics wanted.

	JAZCLASS : Improvisation over Erik Satie's Gnossienne 1
		Erik Satie was very much into breaking down old established rules of traditional Classical music.
		The lead sheets and scales I provide here are derived from Satie's three pieces, but let these be a guide and starting point for your own improvisations only, not fixed formats and sounds you must strictly adhere to.
		In general grace notes are quite short, but I feel in Satie's Gnossienne that you can determine their length to your own taste.

		While many will be grateful to be spared the “sledgehammer of analysis” (228), his readings of the music are sufficiently persuasive and enjoyable to make you wish for more.
		We may then note that the piece is dedicated to Debussy; and that in that same year of 1915 Debussy was writing his Études for piano … [and] turning back to the eighteenth century with his Cello Sonata.
		Within the first fifteen seconds or so, the thoughtful pianist is brought to consider the relationships between practicing and the final, poetic result, between banal words and unbanal tune, between Satie and Debussy, and between styles generally known as Impressionism and Neoclassicism.

		I don’t know about you, but I could not resist hearing music played by a group called Perfect Houseplants, so when they join the Orlando Quartet for some unusual and jazzy takes on medieval polyphany by Donald Greig and Dudley Phillips, I’ll be listening along with all of you.
		Poulenc confessed that “Even today, I often ask myself, ‘what would Satie have thought of such and such a piece?” Pianist Paul Crossley, whose birthday (1944) shares the day but not the year with Satie, is a recognized authority in the performance of Poulenc’s piano works, having recorded them all.
