| | Satie and minimalism: Parallels and points of contact |
| | Satie was very openly involved in avant-garde art movements of his day (in particular those of cubism and dadaism) and certain aspects of those movements are reflected in some of his pieces. | | | Satie earned a living playing the piano in the artistic cabarets of Paris, and by writing music-hall songs for popular singers, such as Paulette Darty, and these popular styles also made an impression on his `serious' compositions. | | | An examination of Satie, the minimalists, and their music reveals certain parallels in the circumstances of the composers regarding musical trends, the composers' compositional aims, and connections with the other arts, as well as points of contact in the (tricky) question of influence. |

| | Erik Satie |
| | Erik Satie was born in Honfleur, France, in 1866, and was never terribly popular or well-known as a composer during his lifetime. | | | Despite the remarkable originality of his musical style, and his aptitude for other arts (he wrote brilliant absurd prose, and was a skilled calligrapher), Satie's music has been neglected for many years. | | | This is sidesplitting, since it was Satie himself who came up with the idea - he called it Furniture Music. |

| | Springtime in Paris: Erik Satie |
| | Satie collaborated with Les Six for the next several years and continued his interest in ballets, culminating in the 1924 premiere of Relâche. | | | Erik Alfred Leslie Satie was born in 1866, and was raised in Paris during an age in which the Wagnerian music model reached its zenith in Europe. | | | Satie quickly became bored by the Rosicrucians, though, and decided to create his own church, which he called "L'Eglise Métropolitaine d'Art de Jésus Conducteur." For this he published an "official" manifesto that functioned primarily as soapbox upon which to rant against music critics. |

| | Erik Satie, the talented French composer to whom just about everyone ends up applying the adjective "bizarre," was in many ways the Frank Zappa of his time. | | | It was after the scandal caused by his wonderful ballet Parade, which caused a riot at its Diaghilev-produced premiere in 1917 (with set and costumes by Picasso and writing by Cocteau). | | | At his death in 1925, his room was discovered to be almost completely bare -- only a bed, chair, and table, a cupboard with the 12 velvet suits, an old piano whose pedals worked by jerry-rigged strings, and his music notebooks. |

| | Satie was a Rosicrucian and had been a great friend of Picasso, who was said by Picasso, to have been one of the most important influences in his life. | | | This strange animal form also appears to be strongly connected with Erik Satie's 1892 ballet 'Uspud'. | | | The two had worked together on Jean Cocteau's 'Parade' in 1917, and they had a strong mutual interest in Alchemy and the Occult. |

| | Ciccolini always played Satie's music as though it had been written by Claude Debussy, not by some cheap charlatan or uneducated primitive (which, to an extent that is still debatable, Satie was). | | | It's simple: in his various realizations of the piano music of Erik Satie, Aldo Ciccolini set a standard that has yet to be bettered. | | | Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Eric Satie were drinking buddies; it shouldn't be surprising that their work, though in different media, should bear striking similarities. |
