ERIK SATIE, French composer (1866-1925), was long ridiculed as a marginal figure in music history. His music is now receiving more and more attention: as a forerunner of various "...isms", as a "template" for countless (jazz) arrangements, as background music for advertising and meditation. He himself saw himself more as an inspiration than as a "great master", was sometimes a harsh critic and provocateur - but he always wanted to "entertain"! ... Satie did not like schools, always wanted to start from zero, as Ornella Volta, who founded the "Fondation Erik Satie" in Paris in 1981, says in the latest film * about him. - Satie about himself: "All the years I was young people said to me: 'You will see when you are 50.' I am 50. I haven't seen anything.” (1920) ... ... Few people know Satie as the author of lovingly designed scores, strange graphics and texts, or know anything about his commitment, for example, to the children of his neighborhood, the Paris suburb of Arcueil. ... ...
