Erik Satie

I'm quite intrigued by my first dip into the work of Erik Satie. He seems valuable for particular occasions... I am attracted to his refined French experimentalism--- do his short piano pieces not parallel wonderfully the films of the New Wave? I am interested in his musicality, and feel a physical interest in his sensual, sophisticated whimsy. I saw him frantic, pounding, lurching, wandering.... all with a distinct peculiarity, a distinct personality. I liked it; it cannot change me, cannot move me-- but I will learn for it.
