Oh

Bro, I've been saying this for a while satie is the father of modern music and his furniture music is pretty much video game music.

Purple Haze, I believe.

Haha. yes bit of a bummer to only have mono

Yeah he is definitely up there

He is cool. Not much else. But I love his coolness.

You said it for me.

Love Darger! Check out Austin Osman Spare while you're at it.

Well in that case and just in case you haven't seen it already, here's another classy art film (by René Clair) that you might enjoy th-cam.com/video/Gu8E_s3km8A/w-d-xo.html featuring Saint Satie himself being canonized in slow motion, a camel-drawn hearse and Karl Marx dancing in a tutu (cool beans!) Watch it if you DARE!

Too true and very well put. To be Cesar Franck about it, Boulez was a suspiciously well-connected, thoroughly artificially facilitated and quite possibly overrated composer (and politician of "the arts") whose minimal popularity has only decreased over time, while Satie's well founded popularity does nothing but increase. Thus does the unpleasantness of politics within "the arts" often reflect the unpleasantness of politics in general. That stated, at least Messiaen had some actual game. Still, there are no valid excuses for being so boldly mean and inaccurate. Vive Satie! "The artists of our day are becoming businessmen and think like attorneys." - Erik Satie

Boulez was always opinionated, to put it mildly. As for Messiaen, I'm not sure what he actually said of Satie. But musicians are entitled to their opinions.

I think Satie is a better composer than Boulez or Messiaen.

It's very French. And of course composers - Satie included - view others through a prism of their value to their own work. Chill.

@@davidw.montague5376 Boulez => t.Edison, Satie => Tesla ?

Too true. Usually Satie's works have that pleasantly gentle effect - that is unless the piece requires some lighthearted and hilariously shockingly LOUD POUNDING, as is sometimes the case. But the occasional sardonic pounding just adds to the overall entertaining contrast. Vive Satie!

Not on mono. It's only coming through one earpiece ffs

That would be preferable to listening to his music. (Glass' , not Satie)

Interestingly or not (most likely...not), many violinists and violists suffer from a curiously lopsided form of self-inflicted left-ear-deafness simply as a result of playing their instruments in the Mc-modern, post-viol style. Seriously: th-cam.com/video/9d-JIj2NOvI/w-d-xo.html (The information section of the video may explain much.) Luckily for me, my hearing is A(440)-okay in both ears...because I was lucky enough to be inspired by Satie. "Experience is a form of paralysis (or, in some cases, nerve damage.)" - Erik Satie

@@davidw.montague5376 i am super intrigued to learn more about your thoughts on the ergonomics of violin playing but the link is no longer active :<

​@@lkym2481 I had forgotten about deleting that video. Thank you for reminding me. The ergonomics of violin playing may be an interesting albeit arcane subject. If you'd like to learn about an exceptionally healthy way to play the violin (for all ears), here's a functional link featuring a detailed explanation. th-cam.com/video/zTui2HRi0ps/w-d-xo.html The information section may seem a little confusing (strictly intentional), but it's fairly sensible. Plus if anyone is bored enough to read all the way to the bottom I included an additional link to another video that visually demonstrates my healthy violin technique. Bottom line: Play the violin any way you want. Just grab a violin and get to know it. I like to play many styles, but I've been inspired to play lots of works by Satie. So if you look through my uploads you'll find all of Satie's Gnossienne, Gymnopedies and also a work entitled Pièces froides, Airs à faire fuir. Stay healthy and happy New Year.

@@davidw.montague5376 i googled procession point and found a post you put on a fiddler's forum linking to a previous version of the same video: th-cam.com/video/5GuluDIBJzI/w-d-xo.html i certainly agree that health and ergonomics take precedence over tradition! you ever see a transverse flute player? of course that's an awkward position. i really wish they made them easily playable. i've looked up different attachments to make them functional while held similar to a clarinet, but the attachment is ~2000$.. yikes!

@@lkym2481 That was admirably diligent of you. You managed (via a very old 'fiddlers' post) to look up my long-dead TH-cam channel that Google-tube wrongfully and illegally locked me out of (seriously, locked me out of) simply because I wouldn't give the dishonest creeps my phone number. Creepy dishonest Google. Oh well. Anyway, too true about both violins and transverse flutes. That's why I prefer to play recorders. Plus I think recorders have a pleasantly interesting sound: th-cam.com/video/NxJMa3PZOiE/w-d-xo.html (From my current, large Gooftube channel-portfolio.) Yes, good idea - think with originality in the name of ergonomic comfort and authentic health. Satie would appreciate that. Have a Satie-empowered day. th-cam.com/video/cOqiSlGJmsI/w-d-xo.html

In the arts, it may be best not to be too literal. Besides, most fine artists experience bouts of colorful gloominess. For instance, Satie's friend Debussy... “The color of my soul is iron-grey and sad bats wheel about the steeple of my dreams.” - Claude Debussy
