jamw on Nostr: A heavy drinker who passed away at only 59 in 1925, Erik Satie’s Gnossiennes No. 1 ...

A heavy drinker who passed away at only 59 in 1925, Erik Satie’s Gnossiennes No. 1 (from his “Three Gnossiennes” composed around 1890) stirs me every time I listen to it.

What I like is the lack of time signatures / bar lines - it is “free time” and quite experimental with regards to structure and rhythm. (i.e. there’s no steady beat and the rhythm is free flowing).

Enjoy. 😊
