Erik Satie remains one of the most bizarre figures in music
history, yet everything he did has its own curious logic, once it
can be perceived. In this important new study Dr Orledge reveals
what made Satie 'tick' as a composer, dealing with every aspect of
Satie's complex career and relating his achievement to the other
arts and to the society in which he lived. Almost every figure in
contemporary art was involved with Satie in some way or another,
from Matisse and Picasso to Apollinaire, Cocteau and Brancusi.
This, however, is no mere life-and-works study but rather an
exploration of the technique behind Satie's art, which foreshadowed
most of the 'advances' of twentieth-century music from serialism to
minimalism, and even muzak. As the book progresses Satie appears as
far more than just the composer of the popular Gymnopedies and
Parade.
