Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Dec. 13 2011, 13:24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Baz3rWsjE0o (What an horrible cover!) Gary Numan version (didn't know this person - I'm really bad) Amazing how you can feel he focuses on the melodic part (right hand) and to me it's the left hand that's the most interesting. He is even completely changing the "intro" that I thought was the best part where there is no melody. I see the track as Satie trying to build some sound, much more than a not so memorable melody. He sounds like a Theremin, which lead me to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PtyxU8lvpc I find the theremin way too loud compared to the piano though. Back to top

You can hear my version of Gymnopedie No.1 here. http://soundcloud.com/phonometron/gymnopedie-no-1 I recorded an album of Satie's works available for free on my website. http://willgell.yolasite.com/albums.php and I have also uploaded all three Gymnopedies and four Gnossiennes to Soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/phonometron/sets Shameless plugging over....   Back to top

Cheers, Terry. * "Independent Musician" means that I don't know Will personally and do not gain anything from plugging his work, but I do love his music! -------------- http://purplerhapsody.co.uk - no words, just emotions Back to top
