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.
Doing this inspired me to do the Satie With Friends project. To find out more about that project, or to contribute your interpretation, go to this page.
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.
