Gymnopedie No 1

The Gnossienne is mysterious by design, coined by Erik Satie himself without a clear precedent in musical terminology. It likely plays on the Greek island of Knossos, seat of the myth of the labyrinth and the Minotaur, and hints at ritualistic or archaic dances. At the same time, the invented word resists precise definition, much like the music itself, which drifts outside the conventions of classical forms and time signatures. By naming the piece this way, Satie gives it an otherworldly, timeless quality—suggesting something half-remembered, half-imagined, and not fully bound to the traditions of his age. It becomes less a composition in the strict sense and more a fragment of a lost ritual, a soundscape hovering between antiquity and modernity.

When I first heard Alex Clare's “Too Close,” I started to get ideas for a more danceable rendition of the song.  Im incredibly excited to finally share my remix of this classic with all of you!

Jesus as an atheist is a challenging idea his teachings, actions, and identity are deeply intertwined with religious beliefs. However, imagining Jesus as a secular, philosophical figure would involve focusing on his moral and ethical teachings without the divine aspect.

In this light, he appears as a wise and compassionate teacher, emphasizing kindness, justice, and empathy from a purely humanistic perspective. His appearance reflect humility and simplicity, symbolizing his dedication to social values over religious authority. This “secular Jesus” might look similar in attire and demeanor—a humble, approachable figure with modest clothing— an advocate for ethical values.
