Tracks Of Yesterday: Erik Satie - Gymnopedies 1, 2, 3

 


In the nineteenth century ambience with rhythm was being produced. Erik Satie’s ‘Gymnopedies’ are almost certainly the precursor of the type. The first time I heard this was probably while watching ‘Diva’, when ‘No. 1’ is used in the scene in, I think, Le Jardin des Tuileries. Lovely stuff.
