"Erik Satie : Nocturne no 1"

[thefatpenguin2003]

Great choice !!!!I have a similar video of my friends' paintings ,accompanied by Gnossiene 1 . Satie's music is always wandering ,always measured yet undecided. By reflecting on the paintings and this music I was thinking that perhaps this piece represents what it would have felt like to live in the era of industrial evolution , see the changes of lifestyle and trying to search for a meaning of it all .

it's not Water snakes but Fishblood by Gustav Klimt

[heidiberg19]

The Pictures/paintings to the pc. of music were very nice -- nothing stuck out to detract from the beauty of the piece. I think that's 1st evidence of a success. I know about spending hours finding the right word, the right blend, you have done a wonderful job. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for your work and for posting.

lovely loneliness i'd say

[Morinml]

Excellent choice. 

[Onthetopofthead]

I feel like balance struggling to maintain the tightrope man thinks he walks on.

[reanueax724]

who the heck does that!!!

[Mariana22091]

Lovely images

[MobiusBandwidth]

the dislikes may be due to the fact that the ending is cut off!

[Cyrillepage1]

Emile Nelligan était la réincarnation de Satie.

Quelle belle âme !

[Randerion]

one of our standart songs in church! but never knew its satie :O !!!

[RachmaninoffSatieOrf]

@Randerion He started his own church with himself as the only member and now he is being played at your church. That is kind of ironic.

[CinMoriitaCaramelo]

very god :)

[soniaraw228]

[RustyRazor2010]

The stead emotion of mankind's accomplishments...

4 people are obviously deaf!

[desu38]

@hellokittykilla And blind.

[Urnorden]

The perfect world, Satie and Spillaert, my favourite classic musician and favourite painter united!

[zaul2000]

;') !

[chirpingdirt]

Probably my favorite Satie...

[georgiannanyman]

Is the wash drawing of the boy with a skull -shown at the start-by an artist named CONGER METCALF?(American, about 19201997)??anyone know?

[MacSnowball]

Oh my God...this is so Beautiful. ♥

[bluelightdawn]

GREAT video

nobody embodies le fin de siècle as Satie does

[SystemJammer]

Three people who dislike this video are perfectly healthy, normal and sane (and not at all touched by the craziness of genius).

[girlofgrays511]

This would be such a good piece for a Miyazaki film!

[markitymark90]

I feel like a man on a tightrope, struggling to maintain balance.

[MacSnowball]

@markitymark90 What, like life you mean?

[slavamuk]

@markitymark90 yes!! to me is to maintain balance on unicycle.

[MorningHasBroken219]

@markitymark90 Is that not an apt description of life, as well?

[flaminess]

reminds me of the music on minecraft.

[lmfviolet78]

it seems to be pretty universal that Satie's music is associated with a sort of lovely creepiness... only way I can describe it

[danielmartinex]

@lmfviolet78 "lovely creepiness" lol, but i agree... it is like dark light, its depressing but also it cheers you up... Full of emotions

[begrackled]

@lmfviolet78 I couldn't have put it better myself. Well done.

[Malachayas]

@lmfviolet78 Seems like the perfect expression for his style to me!

[cansaran11]

@lmfviolet78 i would say that its beauty announces its tragedy

[cansaran11]

@cansaran11 or tragic end...

[biomecaNICK]

I got a good music theory teacher and he told me lots about him. Apparently the misery he lived in is far more disturbing that what you can read on wikipedia.

[buzzzzer]

@biomecaNICK

do you know where i can find his biography? (at least a small one)

[biomecaNICK]

@buzzzzer sorry the only reference I have is my teacher who is a tumpeter with 44 years of experience with alot of other talent In music buisness.-------- you can seek for louis babin in google if you want to

for the biography of Erik Satie, I truly don't know. Google ? Librairy ?

[dellavechiax]

@buzzzzer wikipedia

[martijncomes]

who's performance is this? I don't hear many interesting performances of his work : )

[samau77]

The title of the 3rd image by Gustav Klimt is not "Water Snakes" but "Fishblood", painted/drawn in 1898.

[TheAnonymousmom]

Perfecto!

[sabinabarbara]

molto bello,grazie

[LysoltheFailCat]

MP3 download requested! :3

I love Satie. His work is endlessly soothing.

[artforvm]

Absolutely awesome !

Thank you !

[dragmio]

I just love Vertigo and Water-snakes. Boy and the skull is very good, too. Great selection!

[licoricestic]

good job you cut off the end...

[vitoroppo]

Thank you for this - I wasn't familiar with this composition.

[Dumplingmaster]

excuse me ,could you direct me to the rain station?

[hahasaidthecar]

'Vertigo'by Leon Spilliaert works for me. It is most fantastical and dream like...and that to me is the appeal of Satie's music.

[BrianAlanVH]

like the magnus enckell

[Leibo07]

Do you think that Satie's music and symbolist painting "belong together" ?

[meesterschilders]

this blending works, but maybe more immages by your next video ?
