i have recently been interesed in erik satie's work. i know little to nothing about him, other than the few clips of his work i have heard and a BIG endorsement from wes anderson (who is my second favorite director under david lynch). i am COMPLETELY blown away by one piece in particular i think you should all here if you love piano at all... gymnopedie #1. it is an amazing piece of music. i find it MUCH more emotionally effecting than debussy, stockhausen, or any other semi-modern pianists out there. it hits some strong melancholic chords with me. amazing! i will be ordering his best of cd from naxos when i get the money. |

i bought one of his records for a dollar |

Satie was a genius where he played simple phrases leading towards something but would miss out notes when you they should be there!!! The genius is in the notes that are missing, not the played ones... |

i love gymnopedie #1.. i can play both the melody line and the bass line on piano.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweet.... i really want to get some sheet music and learn that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, he's fantastic. I first heard the gymnopedie 1 at the end of the film My Dinner with Andre - it perfectly suited the bittersweet melancholy of the ending... I think his gnossiennes are the best. I can play the first one on piano - barely - There's some of his stuff at the - sounds nice if you have a decent wavetable rig. And it's a great way to learn the pieces, since you can change the tempo and step thru the notes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can type the notes here to the melody if you want :P its really fun to play the songs you like, i assume you know the basic scale and where the notes are on the piano? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, sure do... if you give me the right hand work, i can probably figure out the left hand easily. it sounds like a basic bassnote accompaniment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as I was saying..........it's sooooo simple but!!!! each resolve doesn't! find the notes that are missing, then you'll learn something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its all about the pause and timing. how certain notes hit together to make you think you know what it's doing. insinuating a chord progression, rather than giving it to you. involving the listener in the piece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright here we go.. it's in 3/4ths and i'll present the rest of the 'bar' with dots. like |..e|a..| if you get me.. my english is not that good so i dont know all the music terminology in english.. anyway, right hand part: | . e g|f e h|g a h|c.. thats the basic melody line. and hold on for a sec |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. no, it makes sense. i gotcha, thanks a ton. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seize, wrong on one part there.. last part is |g a h|g |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, can i ask one question? what the heck is H? hahahahahaha i just realised it as im writing it down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whare the hell is the key "h"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually there is something wrong in there, it's 4:15 in the moring and im kinda tired, but, the last part is |a h(think its b in your country)c|g so, |. e g|f e h|a h c|g.. then.. grah im so tired |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the last one is correct, and 'h' or 'b' is the key before C. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can get you the rest too i just need some sleep right now. :P |
||||||||
|
|

|

You mongs - if you go fetch the midi tracks and load them up in a decent sequencer you can see the sheet music. Sheesh! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why you gotta bleed out your eyes, foo! dont try and act like mark ryden didnt do your makeup!!!!!! |
||||||||
|

|
|
dude, i am SO in love with this stuff... wow! this like changes everything for me! wow bob wow! trois gymnopedies, 5 nocturnes, gnossienne #5, etc... ALL WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you wanna play it on a keyboard I strongly recommend you get a sustain pedal |
||||||||
|

i got my gymnopedie sheet music for piano you don't have to be a member, you can just donwload it gymnopedie 1 isn't really hard to play if you have some years of pianoplaying experience imo (though trying to play it as slow as r. de leeuw might make it a bit more difficult :D) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I have the piano sheetmusic for the gymnopedies and gnossiennes, and play them regularly - they are an intellectual challenge in their apparent simplicity and directions -- a joy to play |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why is it that when Satie comes up people always feel the need to justify the simple beauty of his music with highfalutin' intellectual hoo-ha? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'd say just play it and enjoy it, but then again, that's just how I am... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i think marlowe is saying is that it requires concentration and being in a deep zone to play them well, even though they are so aparently "simple". they are deeply expressive pieces that require dedication (as satie himself would say) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice tracks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a cd of some of his music, i just enjoy it.. fuck the hoo-ha! i can't tell you what's great about it, i just think it sounds good, and i do hear the influence on drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey I never introduced no hoo-ha! :P I was just talking about them from a PERFORMER'S point-of-view! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out frederic chopin if you like satie, especially raindrops |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also have a lot of chopin piano sheetmusic - him and bach are my favourites to play - playing chopin is transcendental -- it's EXTREMELY spiritual |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on a more modern tangent, i'd recommend harold budd and brian eno's albums "the pearl" and "plateau of mirror." maximum statement in minimal phrasing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a HORRIBLY goopy over-wrought rendition of some Chopin nocturnes by Tamas Vasary. Can you recommend a better version? I'm looking for something more geometric and muscular, like a Glenn Gould approach... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heard the budd/eno stuff...love it! heard chopin... love it! (particularly funeral march) heard bach... prefer his guitar or organ stuff glenn gould... never heard of him. recommend something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have CDs of chopin as played by Evgeny Kissin, they are good interpretations :) tibbar - Glenn Gould is a pianist - he's particularly famed for his renditions of bach pieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah...his version of the Goldberg Variations of Bach is particularly stellar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gould's Goldberg Variations is a bit too odd for me, I like Tureck's and there's a good new one by Perahia. I definitely recommend listening to at least one other version besides Gould's ... |
