Pascal Rogé Erik Satie "Nocturne No.4"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_Rog%C3%A9

Alfred Éric 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.

Love this composition. very meloncholy with bursts of optomism and then ends in a question...this must be only a small sampling of the composition...does anyone know the name of the album?

@PirateOfLoserville You're right, the thing is i just hate expressionist music and i dont like when people confuse satie or debussy with schoenberg, etc

[PirateOfLoserville]

@TommyDai1 Ok, but next time try to use a different tone of voice, and skip the jargon to be superior or you will end up with working for google.

[TommyDai1]

@PirateOfLoserville wrong this is nothing like expressionism, its french impressionism all the way

[PirateOfLoserville]

@Dumplingmaster I would describe it as expressionist, a flow of thoughts.

[yenbadcito]

its still sounds unbelivably fresh

[Racedebeaugosse]

Walk one hour on railways, on streets, on playgrounds, hear it.

@lumn8tion

Although occasionally replective, Satie strives for detache but achieve rentenance!

I recently came to Satie, being bascially a Jazzer.

He and Thelonious Monk would have had a great time together.

The spaces in the music, so simple but complex.

They both created atmosphere.
