	Erik Satie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the winter of 1898–1899, Satie could be seen, as a daily routine, leaving his apartment in the Parisian suburb of Arcueil to walk across Paris to either Montmartre or Montparnasse, before walking back again in the evening.
		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.

	Talk:Erik Satie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erik Satie is related to WikiProject Composers which has been provided as a place for editors of biographical articles of Music Composers and Songwriters to discuss common issues, discover neglected composer articles and exchange ideas.
		Satie was the center of Les Six, a group of six French composers (Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honegger, Germaine Tailleferre, Darius Milhaud and Francis Poulenc).
		Anyway, that also resulted in Satie being rejected and isolated in the last years of the 19th century (as opposed to his friend Debussy, whose star was rising in the mean while, see last section of gymnopédie article).

	Satie and minimalism: Parallels and points of contact
		Satie, however, was always independent in terms of musical style, and always kept several steps ahead of everybody else, with the result that it took about twenty years for his earliest works to be generally accepted.
		Satie's palette of rhythms is extremely limited (quavers in pairs, crotchets, dotted crotchets, 2 minims, and one semibreve plus a crotchet for the end of the main part of the piece) and increases the feeling of similarity between these fragments.
		Satie was very openly involved in avant-garde art movements of his day (in particular those of cubism and dadaism) and certain aspects of those movements are reflected in some of his pieces.

	Erik Satie - an overview of the classical composer
		The music of Erik Satie was instrumental in opening doors in musical expression, so that a number of sub-genres or "schools" could explore new territory.
		Firstly, Satie provided one of the sparks that set Debussy on a course towards the "Impressionism" movement, and he continued to support Debussy on this course until this style became fashionable and mainstream when the non-conformist in Satie poured scorn on his follower.
		Satie himself painted from time to time, and was to work with Picasso on a couple of Ballet projects where the artist was involved in the set and costume design.

		Satie became his follower and was made Master of the Chapel.
		Satie’s genius was reaching an apex and he presented a new challenge to classical musical form - musique d’ameublement, so-called "furniture music" which, he declared, was nothing more than a utilitarian industrial product, "Art," he said.
		However the piece that best represents Satie’s spiritual legacy is Socrate (1919), a cantata for four sopranos and chamber orchestra, dominated by a formal aesthetic rigidity; a work that would have a profound influence on Stravinsky.

		Erik Satie, the talented French composer to whom just about everyone ends up applying the adjective "bizarre," was in many ways the Frank Zappa of his time.
		Satie was an eccentric, always wearing the same bowler hat, with a carefully trimmed beard, long hair, a monacle, and an ever-present umbrella.
		After the critics condemned the artistic collaborators as the "three Boches" (Germans), Satie fired off a few "incautious" postcards to the critics and was sued for "public injury and defamation of character," and given a sentence of a week in jail (later suspended).

		Satie's music, in sound and aesthetics, was fundamentally different from the prevailing 19th-century German school that prized ideals of continuity and development.
		Satie emphasizes natural and spontaneous mentation apart from "ideas" in The Dreaming Fish, Heures séculaires et instantanées ("Ordinary and Snapshot Times"), and Véritables préludes flasquers - pour un chien ("Authentic Flabby Preludes - for a Dog").
		Satie invented many musical techniques -- the use of whole-tone scales, chords built in fourths, pattern melodies, unresolved "dissonances" used for their value as sounds, "open" large forms without contrasting or developing sections, and others.

		SATIE, ERIK [Satie, Erik], 1866-1925, French composer, studied at the Paris Conservatory; pupil of Vincent D'Indy and Albert Roussel at the Schola Cantorum.
		He early realized that the romantic Wagnerian style was incompatible with the expression of French sensibility, and he developed a restrained, abstract, and deceptively simple style.
		An eccentric, Satie often concealed his serious artistic intent with droll humor, adding nonsense programs or facetious titles such as Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear (1903).

		Erik Satie was born in Honfleur, France, in 1866, and was never terribly popular or well-known as a composer during his lifetime.
		Despite the remarkable originality of his musical style, and his aptitude for other arts (he wrote brilliant absurd prose, and was a skilled calligrapher), Satie's music has been neglected for many years.
		Many people know at least one or two pieces of music by Satie - his Gymnopedies almost qualify for the category "muzak" these days, as they are played in various revolting arrangements for electric banjo and rubber saxophone in supermarkets and on telephones everywhere.

		Erik Satie is known as an eccentric who gave his works odd titles that seem almost derisive and ridicolous: Chilled Pieces, Drivelling Preludes (for a Dog), Dried up Embryos etc.
		Satie's importance lay in directing a new generation of French composers away from Wagner-influenced impressionism towards a leaner, more epigrammatic style.
		His harmony is often characterized by unresolved chords, which may have influenced Debussy (or he may have learned the device from Debussy—nobody knows).

		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).
		Erik Satie was a bit of a rebel and his influence is probably more noticed today than during his life.
		Satie was an anti-romantic composer, at the point of creating the "furniture-music" (musique d'ameublement) which refuses that music could be so expressive as romantics wanted.

		Eric Alfred Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866 – Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer and pianist.
		Satie became one of the first musicians to perform a cameo appearance in a 1924 film by René Clair (see: a sample of the film (rm format) (http://hem.fyristorg.com/ebay/wav/entracte.rm) and the Entr'acte article).
		"Idée reçue" is a play on words; in French it is the normal term for "prejudice", but Satie used it as the non-material equivalent of found objects (as in readymades) — for example, when he incorporated odd bits of music by Saint-Saëns and Ambroise Thomas in his furniture music.
