Hi all,
Here's a tribute to Erik Satie.
Natalie (Synthesizer v) is singing.
Only one guitar accompanies her: RT 1181

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/thank-you-mister-satie

Thank you Mister Satie for this Gymnopedie
Which amazes us
Even if we don’t know the music theory
Your World seems fabulous
At the tips of your fingers
Dream is floating
Like little tightrope walkers
We’re wandering

From the first to third beat music’s taking its time
Makes the moment last
Each note is so precious, the tempo is just prime
There’s no need to go fast
Magic of your melody
Makes us quieter
And your first Gymnopedie
Takes us further

Love the simplicity, and you fashioned Natalie so well. Yes, there is magic in the melody. Very well done, Chris.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Chris, a starkly beautiful piece. I did not know Satie, but he sounds quite worthy of this tribute. Nicely done!

I enjoyed your tribute, Chris. Really nicely done.

Re the YT video, playing a piece well that is this slow and with a lot of dynamic range is WAY more difficult than it looks. Props to the pianist. Great rendition.

Very nice, ( I had to Google the word Gymnopedie ... LOL) Synth V sounds beautiful, and the simple yet effective guitar work set against your lyrics are a work of art.

I only know the Satie piece via BS&T. It's a great idea to add lyrics to it. Well done.

Chris, this sounds exactly like some of the folk artists I listened to in a small cafe near me, way back in the mid 1960s.
Great arrangement.
Super synth vocal.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hi, Christian.

Very pretty!

I've always loved Satie's Gymnopedie #1, and Natalie has a lovely voice.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks The Maartian, Elliott, WaoBand, Mario and David.
The accompaniment with one guitar seems simple but finding a good sound and fluid notes wasn't so easy!

Chris,

It's a simple and very beautiful song.
The transition in the middle of the song is great.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

I like your sparse arrangement that leaves a lot of room for the singer.
Very tasteful.
In my opinion, some lines have too many syllables for a song with this mood to really fit the mood, but other than that, I really like your song [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

Thank you B.D.Thomas,
With this song, I wanted to alternate long sequences of short notes with some sequences of long notes.
