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.

Masayoshi Fujita is a Japanese vibraphonist and composer based in Berlin. Masayoshi first learned how to play the drums, followed by extensive vibraphone training to craft and play his own compositions.

Determined not to stick to traditional vibraphone styles or techniques and theory of composition, he seeks his own sound of vibraphone and new possibility of it. Masayoshi also prepares his instrument with strings of bead, strips of foil and similar objects. The resulting new sounds, akin to distortions, help to expand the vibraphone spectrum without eroding the instrument’s intrinsic character or even abandoning it altogether.

Inspired by the silence and deepness of the fog, the mountains and the gravity within, His music evokes images, atmospheres, sceneries and stories in the listener, the images that have accumulated in himself. At the same time he explores the unexplored beauty of the vibraphone, and pursues the charm of the instrumentation 
and the music itself.

Under his electronic solo project alias, el fog, Masayoshi combines the vibraphone and analogue/digital electronic sound and textured noises using divers experimental methods.

His recent collaboration with German electronic musician Jan Jelinek received a lot of attention from experimental music fans around the world

Vielleicht kann man sagen, dass hier Freigeister der Diskotheken melancholische Parolen auf die Tanzfläche schütten.
Oder eine Synthesizer-Orgel, ein Schlagzeug und ein Konservenbass versuchen das zu sagen, was viele nicht verstehen.
Oder Poesie vor Prosa. Oder Tanz vor Musik. Oder die Dinge von Gestern im Zeitgeist von Morgen. Oder auch alles umgekehrt.
Alles ist Klaus Johann Grobe. Alles ist Duo. Alles ist modern. Und alles ist Heute.
