So, I just put up my first attempt as mastering Gymnopedies, Erik Satie’s wonderful three pieces that really started a revolution in music. Each of the three pieces uses 6 track and three different piano patches, a 5 meter grand piano, a distant grand which is processed through various echo boxes and a Fender Rhodes. These are mixed and then mastered using the Mid Side technique.
Slanting and shadow-cutting a bursting stream
Trickled in gusts of gold on the shiny flagstone
Where the amber atoms in the fire gleaming
Mingled their sarabande with the gymnopaedia.
