I Love You Like The Last Season

A brand new improvisation. Recorded very early this morning. It was still dark outside and I took the chance before starting with today's work. Christmas time is always Blackweeks , Blackfriday and Cybermonday time. As a composer and producer for TV commercials, I have a lot to do. I still take my needed breaks and sit down at my piano and play without any prior idea. Free improvising. Please enjoy.

Erik Satie (1866–1925)
Erik Satie was a French composer and pianist, renowned for his unconventional and often humorous approach to music, which was ahead of its time and played a pivotal role in the development of modern music. Born on May 17, 1866, in Honfleur, France, Satie’s work was marked by a distinctive simplicity, originality, and wit, often challenging traditional forms and musical expectations.

Satie’s compositions are characterized by their minimalist, repetitive structures, unconventional harmonies, and unexpected juxtapositions of moods. His best-known works, such as Gymnopédies, Gnossiennes, and Trois morceaux en forme de poire, are celebrated for their introspective atmosphere, gentle rhythms, and subtle, evocative textures. These pieces, particularly the Gymnopédies, are considered some of the earliest examples of Impressionism in music, and they influenced not only the composers of his time, including Claude Debussy, but also the development of later movements such as minimalism and ambient music.

Beyond his music, Satie was a colorful and eccentric figure, known for his distinctive personality and his willingness to break with tradition. His work often reflected his unconventional philosophy of life, and he frequently infused his music with humor, surrealism, and even absurdity. He coined terms like "furniture music" to describe his experimental, ambient-style compositions, which anticipated the avant-garde developments of the 20th century.

Satie was a key figure in the French avant-garde movement and collaborated with notable artists, including Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso. Although he struggled financially and was often overlooked during his lifetime, his influence grew posthumously, and today he is regarded as one of the most innovative and idiosyncratic composers of the early 20th century.

The Erik Satie profile on SoundCloud is dedicated to showcasing his timeless compositions, offering a variety of interpretations of his works.
