Over the years, Erik Satie was described as a precursor of movements and styles as varied as Impressionism, Neo-Classicism, Dada, Surrealism, Conceptual art, minimalism, and ambient music. As well as taking the first steps towards techniques such as prepared piano and music-to-film synchronisation, Satie became one of the first musicians to perform a cameo appearance in a film, in 1924's Entr'acte by the French filmmaker René Clair.
Satie appears to have been the avant-garde to half of the avant-garde movements of the twentieth century. He was in contact with Tristan Tzara, the initiator of the Dada movement. He got to know the other Dadaists, such as Francis Picabia (later to become a Surrealist), André Derain, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Satie contributed to the Dadaist publication 391. In the first months of 1922, he was surprised to find himself entangled in the argument between Tzara and André Breton. Satie originally sided with Tzara, but managed to maintain friendly relations with most players in both camps.
Satie is today regarded as a key modernist composer. As well as influencing contemporaries such as Claude Debussy, who orchestrated two of Satie's Gymnopédies, Maurice Ravel, and a group of composers known as the Les Six, his tendency towards simplicity and repetition continue to inform modern avant-garde genres.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts wild stranger on the internet.
I know what feelings you describe. Not having enough grasp of a thought or not being able to visualise an idea. Feeling nostalgic for something you've heard the first time in your life.
That's what this piece of music and art is for me. I heard it for the first time today, well at least consciously. And I feel like it's a memory from a better past, I've never had or at least I'm not aware of.
Life is what you make of it. That's what I have found for myself after 32 years at least.
Everyone has other expectations, goals and dreams of and in life.
And that is fine I think.
Some might live their life and will vanish from the collective memory of the earth.
Others will make a huge impact and will go on to live forth in history books.
And I think that's fine as long as one is happy with their life and their decisions.
The journey is what counts not the end of it.
At least that's what I have made peace with.
You don't have to be your best self every day of your life, or help each and every granny that wants to cross the road. It's okay to be just who you are.
Live your live happy stranger, not waste it, you might only get one, so at least be happy with it.
Adieu.

Hello everyone, this video is dedicated to my Patron Mike Barnett who has been doing some amazing things with my MIDIs. He's been supporting me since the beginning, so I want to thank him and all of you for your ever-growing support! This piece evokes the feelings of being in a dream, like floating amongst clouds in ultimate tranquility, I hope it brightens your day.
