Me: procrastination
Satie, an intellectual: *_inspiration_*
Yes haha!!
Satie , Slacker Supremo. Knows how to find excuse too.
I wonder how Satie earns a living back then.
@@bricolagefantasy7291 le RSA
Luke, your work is amazing
I find you!
Can’t wait for Nahre to stack a second piano on top of her first loll
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Who saw my comment before this one lol
Don't you mean an Organ. 🤦♀️
he didn't have Pianoteq
100 years in the future, musicians and composers will be studying the works of Nahre Sol.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope it doesn't take that long for people to realise that Satie was lying about the horse. He meant octopus.
@@TheDavidlloydjones I don’t get it you can’t ride an octopus in the sea because it is something that cannot be ridden A horse is something that can be ridden and can be played also as a sport it’s a sport which is called an equestrian sport or horseback riding for simpler beginner phrases So Plainly And honestly don’t understand so please reply to this comment and clarify what you meant by the famous composer lying about the horse back riding habit of his so I really don’t get it
@@fatmahisham8613 He also lied about riding. He meant becoming.
@@fatmahisham8613 Your remarks about „the horse“, it’s something that can be ridden and played, sound very questionable to me. The age of man as „the dominator of nature“ is coming to an end.
What do you mean "Erik Satie's pretty ridiculous routine"?
I am calling you out for an umbrella duel!
Nevertheless, something I never expected to see on RUclips some day.
Haha!!
hold up
Agreed ! Weirdly I ride horses most every other day at the same times that Satie did; I used to fence three times a week; I eat white foods some days as that helps mitigate migraines (the fun darker foods have the fun yet bad and headache causing alkaloids) ; and interestingly I used to be a failed composer... But now for 20 years a "professional" inventor; and yet for me I am bitter about the fact that people these days really don't have a proper sense of the absurd and for some reason society is bent on pounding all joy and fun and general randomness out of people at a very young age* . I know first hand that the French really know how to live and I think Satie's routine , although somewhat satirical of the idle rich is not a million miles away from what most creative "Bachelors" with a bit of money and time on their hands (of the time) would be getting up to.
_____________________________________________________________________________
* I feel that Satie's routine is designed in spirit to preserve and nurture creativity over the arc one's entire life, and yes I too sleep deeply but with one eye open... [more of a state of mind and disposition but also a good joke too :-) ].
@@extradimension7356 Pith and marrow of the subject matter achieved and unlocked in your comment, good sir!
4:11 omg i laughed so hard. I'm French and Memoires means memoirs, but also memory, and amnésique is pretty transparent (=amnesic). So he basically called his book "memory of an amnesic man"
That’s Satie! : )
3:06 you mom saying “funny” in a deadpan voice while handling a sharp knife 😭
🤣
This boredom idea remided me of Tarkovsky's awnser to:
What would you like to tell young people?
I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to be spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."
I wonder if it said "ne dormir que d'un oeil" literally translated to mean "sleep with only one eye". It is a common expression in French, meaning shallow sleep, still thinking (for various reasons). Satie often played with words as he loved to do. Satie revelled in his oddness and being a non conformist. One only has to read his compositions for children "Le Roi Des Haricots" ("King of Beans") or what happened to the girl's doll (a satire on the compositions about dolls by Tchaikovsky?) Personally, I think breaking normal routine and slowing down allow for alpha waves in the brain and increased creativity.
Erik Satie has to be one of the weirdest composers to ever walk planet earth
Definitely…. 😅
The true definition of edgy.... Those metal moppet are babies compared to him....
The next question: what is normal?
Followed up by the question: does normality even exist?
You should look up some of the oddities of Percy Grainger if you're interested in weird composer behaviours
Would love to have heard a conversation between the likes of him and Ives.
Fun fact: After Erik Satie's death (I think it was after), 2 grand pianos were found stacked onto each other.
Yes and that infuriated me
that's how Grand Piano are born Duh! didn't you learn that in school? 🙄
@@keithkunikida1222 You're not my mom
Heard about that a few months ago, still wondering how tf he did that
@@kulti7 lol me too
Didn’t realize Nahre could H 🏀 🏀 P ! Haha seriously though, this was hilarious and awesome and interesting
Thank you!!! I actually really enjoy shooting hoops, although it’s been YEARS since I did !
what a refreshing video! Thank you :)
Your piece at the end was gorgeous. I love the deep atmosphere it created. It made me think of a guy who has a singular thought on his mind, and he just can't stop thinking about it, because he's become obsessed with it.
I'll go and take your survey now...
EDIT: I just remembered something else I wanted to add. Satie seemed to be one of those people who really wasn't passionate about food. It was low on his radar, and that's why he gave it such little attention. I also bet that he only ate monochromatic white foods, so that he was never distracted and over-stimulated with it, because he wanted to only dedicate his creative energy towards music. I have a collaborator, whose only clothes are a few pairs of blue jeans and a bunch of T-shirts that are all the same color. This way, he never has to spend time thinking about what to wear. It's a minimalist approach!
Watching The Office for inspiration. Very understandable, Michael Scott is a very wise man.
Right?? 😅
@@NahreSol "Fool me once, strike one, but fool me twice...strike three."
Can't argue with that 😄
I especially resonated with the idea of composing away from the keyboard. I used to come up with good stuff while riding a bicycle (I think because of the rhythmic body movements). I didn't realize that Satie was so funny. I like his sense of humor challenging the assumptions of his society. Well done video.
Alma Deutscher gets many of her best ideas for compositions while jumping rope.
I really love the sincerity with which you approach your projects. It's so inspiring (and also humbling). It has a real feel of diving into everything you do, which is very hard to actually do
I love researching details about my favorite authors and look for clues of their character in their compositions so this video is really one of my absolute favorites on YT 🔥
This is one of my favorite videos so far. I often feel overwhelmed by music classes, but your videos make me feel refreshed and less burnt out. Thank you! ❤️
I seriously loved this video so much❣️❣️❣️so glad this idea made it into a video🙌🏻🙌🏻 and even more glad for your new piece “For The Missing Pastry”😍😍
Some of the best and most interesting music related videos on this channel. Love the perspectives and angles it adds to my understanding of music and life.
I'm always pleasantly surprised by the thoughtfulness in your videos. This was a delight to watch.
This was a great video documentary Nahre! Wow, thank you for sharing this journey...so refreshing. You are genuinely admired and I love your little dogs so much. 🎹👍🎶
My favourite video on this channel. I love the cut and narration. Thanks, Nahre.
Thank you Nahre, I really needed to hear this. To stop obsessing about productivity sometimes and let things come to me, and to enjoy what I am doing, even if it is not 'work'
I'm watching this journey of yours as I head into an overdue vacation - so perfect timing. I love Satie, Mahler, Brahms... the creative moodiness that is not in your face, allowing you to dive through layers to the depth of your choice, sorta like Joyce, Becktt and Allen Kurzweil. I'm still blown away by your many gifts as a musician and visual artist / video producer and presenter. Your jump shot? I can relate to those smooth perimeter shots!. Add your layer of genuine 'adorableness' and I can only await your next upload. thank you for this journey!
Satie had a SATIErical routine
Haha!!! 🤣
thank you, there's the exit door
@@leebsyforu Thanks, I couldn't find it
Oh my goodness the piece you made for the end of the video is incredible, super fascinating and catchy music! and groovy too, the best possible way I can think of to create a modern "Neo-Satie" style. Fabulous work.
Thank you for attempting this experiment and sharing with us the insights you got from it. I also learned a lot about Satie - I had no idea he was such a joker. I am always interested in hearing how creative people organize their day. A key idea I got from this - which reinforces something I already believed - is productivity in creativity really requires a lot of "space", not an industrial efficiency time management approach.
Your videos have a sense of meaning that is hard to explain with words. Very interesting and touching.
Every time i watch your video, i feel better. Classic music becomes more and more familiar to me. And the way you talk about your work gives me the will to be better and less lazy with my instrument.
I've loved that brilliantly absurd piece of writing for 25 years, since I first encountered it. And I love your takeaway here, that we don't need to focus on productivity all the time and instead, like Satie, can have long stretches of the day that serve as time and space for creative inspiration. Thank you for this video!
I'm learning Gymnopedie 1 or the first time so this video is perfect timing and I love getting into this curious, open headspace. Thank you Nahre Sol!
learning more about Satie has inspired me to try and seek ideas from weird and uncommon things, like how vexations seems to be made to invoke boredom, and to not take myself, or my music too seriously. I'll try to also create something simple yet fascinating.
what a cool video, thanks Nahre!
Yours is a life truly blessed, Nahre. Great video.
I like your channel because of how much experimentation that you do. It feels like watching another human being try to make sense of all of this world around us, and it's oddly comforting to see the same questions and discoveries from another perspective.
"For the Missing Pastry" sounds like something that would be completely at home in a Tim Burton film or in the background of a Tarantino film.
One of the aspects of your videos that I love is the variety and the quest to find new ideas and new ways of explaining or experiencing some aspect of development. To be part of your exploration, even in a small way is really inspiring. I was not surprised when you said you have many ideas that don't make it to videos .. but now I want to know what they are :)
Can I just say, as a French person, your pronunciation of the composers' names at the beginning is spot on. Actually, the whole video is excellent, as always
This video was weirdly wonderful, maybe a lot like Satie’s music. Really enjoyed the end of the “For the missing pastry” part especially. Genuinely helped me to just calm down and Be
I LOVE THIS!!! Simply beautiful, the piece you created matches the scene that you were riding a horse!
amazing video as always! for the missing pastry was so captivating and was my favorite part of the video as well 💖
Wonderful endeavor, and I love the excerpt of the piece you wrote!
Another great presentation and interesting topic to me as musician since seeing your openness to that schedule and trying to write music while walking is relatable since I often compose music without my instrument since notes come to me while moving freely.
Thank you!!!
I love how you focused on finding the schedule's benefit in your own life! Satie seemed like someone who was honest with himself; I wonder how many points in his schedule seemed bizarre but were actually things he felt benefited his own life.
Great experiment/experience (the two words are actually used inversely in French)! I saw a John Mayer video just hours ago where he said his #1 practice tip would be to write music or come up with musical ideas *away* from the instrument; your explanation corroborates his nicely :) Don't be afraid to explore more of these ideas - especially the ones that don't make it to your videos!
i've learnt so much from this video. thanks Nahre!
Fascinating and creative video! Thanks for uploading. 🙏
Your talent and commitment is super refreshing to see and hear! Also, Erik Satie “dried embryos” is hilariously great. I show everyone I know the ending (you know the one), I laugh every time!
I love all of your videos, but this one is the best for me. Thanks a lot! 🎈🎈🎈
The difference between digging Satie and digging INTO Satie! How fun! Your genuine smile throughout was worth the price of admission! Thanks!
You're an amazing person with an inner world that is unique and utterly beautiful. Thank you for letting us sneak peek into it 🌸🌿💕
Love your work Nahre, it's always inspiring to see your videos!
Nahreeeee!! I read about this before and wished a musician would try to do it. Was not too surprised that it'd be you (ok, maybe I was a bit surprised haha.) Thanks so much for this!! You keep inspiring me to be a great and knowledgeable musician!!
Cool video and beautiful new piece! I wrote a paper on Satie in grad school and was also fascinated by his work and life.
What a great video! Very insightful and interesting. Thank you!
This is such a lovely video, thank you. Although I had not thought of it before, it struck me while watching that Satie's sensibilities were also a precursor to Thelonious Monk's approach to music.
I really love this video. Erik Satie is one of my fav composer too. Thank you for making an in-depth of his history!
Nahre's videos are always a go to, ngl
Love your content!
"This is a society where productivity is pushed onto us". This will be my contemplation of the day. Nice, thanks.
Love this-thank you Nahre Sol~Satie has been one of my favorite composers~
I love this piece on Satie and you. Of course you are a very commplished musician and pianist of the first rank. I got to that from some of your other entries but you really embody the fun part of music making and being a musician.
That was great! I'd love to hear more about your musical penmanship!
The piece of music you made is really dreamy. I love it.
This is very interesting, the idea of a composer's schedule. I think as modern composers it's sometimes easy to forget to live while only focusing on productivity. It takes time to get inspired and life experience to write something great. Nice video Nahre. It's a very cool idea. (:
Such a wholesome video, like a gentle hug :) Thank you! :)
Erik Satie seems like Nikola Tesla of the music world!
They were around the same time, had similar weird schedule and life rituals, highly inspiring work!
as always, i loved your video very much. i like how you approach things in a mix of spontaneity and meticulousness. you give me enthusiasm to get curious and try new things too.
I don't know how I never ran across this, but love it! So fun, I am GIANT Satie obsessor, and doing a fun composition Satie challenge/project next year! Will share this with everyone (so I don't have to go do this myself. But I'm good with White Cake for a few days, so that part is easy!).
Yesss! Love this format
can we get a standalone video for "For the Missing Pastry"? It's a wonderful piece, very inspired!
Excellent episode! Amazing work as always!
The music you composed is simply amazing! Please please please put it on Spotify or upload it here as a separate video!
When I see this video, I think you could visit France again. I think here in France we really appreciate this kind of experimental, philosophic, free and innovative approach. Also you may enjoy how classical music fits in with the other art forms such as painting, architecture (buildings and gardens), cuisine of the same era. I had a great experience before Covid at Giverny (Monet's house) where classical music, paintings and gardens were brought together on a sunny spring day.
Bless you Nahre, this is utterly delightful. With love, Ken
This made me love you and Erik Satie even more!✨
Thank you!!! ☺️
I Love Satie, and this routine is almost identical to what I use to do when I composed. Thanks for sharing this
I loved the video, Nahre ! Especially the hauntingly beautiful and intriguing piece at the end :)
luv this...you are hilarious and thought provoking. You are ways taking sideways steps yet moving forward...great job...🍁👍🤠
You are definitely one of the coolest people I know of
nahre's vids always make me feel refreshed, idk why... like I just had a cup of green tea lol
I'm really glad I saw this video. A lot of the information I've seen about Satie tried to make him out a nutcase. This video made me realize how much of what they used to call him crazy, was actually just an absurdist or ironic sense of humor. He's been pretty wrongly portrayed from other videos I've seen about him.
I love the concept! We are pushed so much to constantly be productive. We need so much boredom to keep sain 😁
Yes!! Exactly!
Nonsense. What you're sain is insain
This reminds me of a recent video of Veritasium.
It's things like this that I am on the internet for...thanks for making this!
Lol! The look of your mom when you get up from the table at lunch (12:14PM), like... confused.
I enjoyed this video. Thank you!
The more videos of yours I watch, the more I admire your work.
I've literally been waiting for someone to do this and share their experience since I've listened to Erik Satie.
Thank you Nahre, I loved this video and your composition. The white food didn’t look too appetising though 😀 I love your production and editing skills. You are very talented!
Nahre you are the best!! 💞
Great video. Great composition! ❤
This video was inspiring and made me feel happy. Wow thank you!
👍🏻 thanks for that video Nahre I really enjoyed it! (especially your composition you came up with)! I’ve always been fascinated with the Gymnopedie music pieces by Satie love them) but maybe if I could just boil it down to something simple I think Erik Satie, well,, he just wants us to not to take life so seriously! Maybe to smile at it, to laugh at Life, to allow yourself to be goofy, and to be off the main path. I think that’s what makes Satie so fascinating! Thanks for your video!
This is great! I love vidoe concepta like this that are entertaining, but thought provoking and evocative.
Thank you!!!
Beautiful video as ever❤️
This is brilliant, and I also like your composition.
Great video! it was cool seeing parts of your/erik satie's day other than at a piano.
Love this, thank you!
Really enjoy your "Missing Pastry" theme. Thanks for video!
Thank you!!!
How bizzare I guess you could say it's not my cup of satie
Dried up Embryos, anyone-- maybe to go with that cup of Satie?
The comment I’ve been waiting for
This is frickin heart warming 🥺🌻
Thank you Nahre really enjoyable as always 🙏 I would love to hear you speak about Lyle Mays.
What a great video, I love it :)
