    Alfred Eric Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866 -- Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer and pianist. Starting with his first composition in 1884, he signed his name as Erik Satie.
    Satie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies. Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrograph" or "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures (and writes down) sounds") preferring this designation to that of "musician," after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician" in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.
    In addition to his body of music, Satie also left a remarkable set of writings, having contributed work for a range of publications, from the dadaist 391 to the American Vanity Fair. Although in later life he prided himself on always publishing his work under his own name, in the late nineteenth century he appears to have used pseudonyms such as Virginie Lebeau and François de Paule in some of his published writings.
    Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. He was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music and the Theatre of the Absurd.
    The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist, Erik Satie.
    These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopedies are regarded as the precursors to modern ambient music[citation needed] - gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. For instance, the first few bars feature a disjunct chordal theme in the bass - first, a G-major 7th in the bass, and then a B-minor chord, also in the lower register. Then comes the one-note theme in D major. Although the collection of chords at first seems too complex to be harmonious, the melody soon imbues the work with a soothing atmospheric quality.
    Satie himself used the term "furniture music" to refer to some of his pieces, implying they could be used as mood-setting background music. However, Satie used this term to refer to only some of his later, 20th century compositions, without specific reference to the Gymnopédies as background music. From the second half of the 20th century on, the Gymnopédies were often erroneously described as part of Satie's body of furniture music, perhaps due to John Cage's interpretation of them.
    Some of the paintings are from Édouard Cortès's

    For some reason I think this piece is what nostalgia sounds like. Not necessarily sad, but not quite happy either. Something in between, and a bit of both.

    Whoever had the genius idea of combining Gymnopèdie with Eduard Cortes’ paintings, deserves to win the Internet. There are now enough of these videos for it to be a thing.
    Cortes’ lived a long life and I love how you can see the growth of Paris through his paintings; from horse drawn carriages to sleek 1950s Buicks. If you look closely, in almost every picture there is a woman and a young girl (who grows into a young lady in later pictures) waking side by side. They were his wife and daughter.
    I had the pleasure of visiting Paris for the first time last summer. I was excited, but having heard so much about it all my life, I expected it to be nice but underwhelming. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I absolutely loved Paris. And contrary to the stereotype, the vast majority of Parisians were lovely people. Thank you Satie, thank you Cortes and thank you for to the righteous people on TH-cam for posting these beautiful collages. It makes me think of the city I’m now in love with.

    A long time ago, when I was around 13 years old, my Dad passed away and I became an orphan and went to an orphanage because I had no other relatives that could take care of me. When I turned 18 I left the orphanage and felt completely lost. No money, no job, no perspective. In my own city except for social workers I didn't know anyone. And I came back to live in the same old apartment where I used to live poor with my father. I remember him skipping meals and pretending like he is not hungry just so he could put more food on my plate. Then soon one day I came across a photo - it was me standing in front of our building smiling but with my hand out trying to tell the person who was taking the photo not to do it, but I was clearly happy. And I tried so hard to remember when the photo was taken and who took it but I just couldn't. When I listen to Satie I always think about that photograph and that boy, I am now almost 32 years old and Satie's music makes me dream of having a conversation with my younger self. I would love to tell that boy that it's ok to cry, it's ok miss your Dad so much that you don't won't to share that feeling with anyone, you want to keep it to yourself, that it's ok to feel lonely. I would love to tell him all that and much, much more..

Like your curled up near the fireplace with a nice cup of coffee or tea or something, and just watching the blizzard rage on outside, and mentally decompressing from the recent chaos of the holidays, thinking of the new year ahead of you.
      It evokes a fascinating emotion. It’s not precisely happy, nor is it sad. It’s neutral and pensive sounding. It’s peaceful, yet has a slightly haunting quality to it. It’s so beautiful... anyway, I did not expect to go off on that tangent, but I’m listening to this at 1:17 in the morning, and I’m just alone with my thoughts. Btw I love your profile pic and name!

My contention that is widely accepted by this society, is that children usually use those words, "shut up" and "I hate", etc.

    This piece feels like silence. It quietly and gently covers the vulgar sound in life like cars on the street, knifes on a plate, gum chewing and other comon stuff, alowing for a peaceful appreciation of the beeing. It also sums itself, beeing ever-present. It's like air: It's needed, its full and ever-present.

    I used to listen to this religiously when I lived in Las Vegas. In a way it's kind of like Paris (it even has it's own "Paris"), the bright lights, the cultural aspects, the decadent food and night life. I don't live there anymore, sadly, but this piece, especially the last part, makes me feel so happy that I had the time there that I did. I know I'll never relive that time again, but as long as I have the memories, I'm so content. Sweet memories that I'll cherish forever.

    Melancholy... Life is strange. The more happy moments you have, the more you feel sad that those moments are gone. But, most of all, you lived them! And this is the kind of music that brings up some melancholy, because you don't have those moments anymore, but you were lucky enough to had the chance to live them. Sad and happy, at the same time, for a time that passed by.

At this moment in history, we today have been pummelled by many global events in our lifetimes, viewed from our own living rooms - events that have rendered us needful of his insight. I think I should have said that no man is a prophet in his own land - and in his own time. We need his perspective today, more than ever before, if only to cope with today's pressures.

    Quede viuda hace un año y escuchar esta pieza es lo que me transporta con mi amor eterno, a otra dimensión, estamos ahí, los dos juntos, nada nos separa, todo es posible…
    Cómo si una suave brisa acariciara mi ser y pudiera casi acariciarlo de vuelta, mi alma se regocija…
    La melancolía y la tristeza llenan mi cuerpo y al mismo tiempo, mi alma se engrandece, ya que me siento menos ajena en este mundo a veces tan cruel. Por que aunque esté rodeada de personas, al mismo tiempo me siento sola…

    This is like no other classical song out there. Minor music in classical music is always seen as sad, as in the crying type. For me personally this captures depression, and I dont hear that from many other classical pieces. It's strange for some it is depressing and sad, and for others it is calming and peaceful. Long comment, but wanted to get it out there.

      I guess it depends on where you stand in life. If you are up everything below you is down and vice versa.
      Personally this piece resets me emotionally and brings me back to zero, I feel as if the emotions inside me are interfering with each other to stop the ripples and bring me calmness i don't very much experience anywhere else.

      it modulates, modally and is chromatic. it gives the piece a ''mental'' hue
      i think reflexion is hard to depict sonically.
      brooding or thinking
      but with emotion
      soul
      hes both a natural and a genius

Let s say for the sake of it that if satie will be forgotten, something veeery terrible must have happened, like ending world catastroph and shit.

      No me imagino a una mariposa rodando las cuerdas de un violín. Las gimnopedias son obras para ser tocadas exclusivamente en piano. Dejando a salvo, por supuesto, las versiones Orquestales que hiciera Debussy de algunas de ellas y que fue lo que permitió se conocieran.

    Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction

    This piece reminds when I went backpacking by myself through Europe after graduating college. I was in Rome, Italy. I went to a neighborhood far from tourism to get a glimpse of the daily Italian life. I came across a park, it lacked maintenance and was dry, simple with rusted iron gates. A sat to watch several men play soccer, they were laughing and even though I don’t speak Italian, i could tell were full of joyful banter. In the distance, I could hear a neighbor playing the piano in their home, a relaxing, yet touching classical piece. That was 17 years ago, a beautiful memory that I am thankful for.
