Eric Satie:
Gymnopédie #1
Promised a friend that I would make a recording of the Gymnopédie - so here it is - couple of buzzes and dinked harmonics - but it'll have to do. Been playing a LOT more tennis than guitar of late and haven't posted anything new here in a couple of years so I guess it's good to put up even simple little things like this.
From Wikipedia: "...The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie.
These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopédies are regarded as the precursors to modern ambient music - gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. ..."
Anyway - I've all but forgotten how to record well - and can't remember how I cleaned up the audio in the past - yes - still using the old webcam with all of its video and audio weaknesses - sorry. But I just replaced the older ones with a newly created vid which seems a little better in terms of less distortion.
Also, I made sort of a mashup (been watching too much Glee) of several transcriptions and tried to guess at Liona Boyd's repeat but I'll post a score by Thomas Königs which is a pretty simple transcription.
