satie


to add to my previous post on satie:

it's really interesting that phillip glass was influenced by satie, because while satie seems to
create a lot of excitement with just a minimal amount of sound, glass is almost the opposite. i'm thinking of "glassworks," where he simultaneously conveys the intricacies of movement
while suggesting a sort of calm or stillness. it's very "busy" musically, i mean to the ear, but it has a different effect on the emotions.
