I was introduced to the Gnossiennes during a difficult time in my life. I felt deeply sad because of a chronic loss, friends and family alike. I was given license to feel sad by Satie's works, and I realized that sadness isn't something meant to be eradicated, but felt so that the heart can be touched, so that life can be richer.
Exactly the same for me, chronic loneliness and loss, emotional trauma... And Satie gave me this quiet melancholic place to contemplate and welcome my pain in peace. Pure melodic silence. I learned the 1st and 3rd Gnossiennes in a day and I'm now learning the 2nd one.
Je pense que le contrepoint de Bach serait plus approprié à la géométrie d'Escher, et que le minimalisme émouvant de Satie serait mieux mis en valeur avec des peintures "porteuses d'états d'âmes" (et non de perfection technique), et il y en a beaucoup, dans tous les genres. Edward Hopper, par exemple. Ou certaines peintures de tas d'autres artistes....

amazingly profound!
Buddhism says to FEEL your emotions, but not LIVE in them.
A gift I'm receiving in old age is non-attachment.
escher was an amazing artistic prodigy, the world should never forget his deep art!
for some reason this really helps me study :)
A great combination, Satie and Escher.

Entra nell’anima incidento un sentiero che porta sempre più in alto, grazie .
This simple and graceful music is off the charts
It wears well no matter how much I listen to Satie’s music
astonishing link between escher and satie. even deeper than escher and bach

i feel sorry for Russia, Russians are a great people who deserve better
je suis pa fâne de clasico mai jaime
le boléro de Ravel et celui si en particulier
Depuis peu, ma tristesse est un monde ancien, un monastère tibétain et une jonque pleine d'œillets prête à chavirer 🤮
