Can anybody identify for me the Satie piece in the French movie "Diva" which came out in 1981. A friend used to have the soundtrack on a cassette and... well you know what happens next: you get hit by a bolt of lightning 20 years later and it turns out its not CD, a copy of the movie is nowhere to be found.....

Would anyone be interested to hear some of the greatest piano works of
Erik Satie orchestrated and enhanced electronically in ways that even
satie would have appreciated.
In my opinion,Satie would have marvelled at the scope of sounds
available from electronic instruments,and would have been one of the
greatest innovators of the invention.What a pity so many great composers
missed out on these "textured" sound sources.

I agree that Satie's music takes readily to the synthesizer sounds and
samples of today.
This was proven to me by playing some of his Children's Pieces into a
midi recorder and as they were played back I ran through my synth
presets. One of them inevitably sounds great. The clarity of his
keyboard writing is evident when played on different sounds other than
the piano, as shown by his Gymnopedies played on guitar, orchestrated,
etc.
What we need is a modern tribute album to him, with different
musicans contributing accordingly.
Anyone have ideas?

Hi,
I’m Dahlan 17 years old, an Indonesian, and I am a piano teacher.
I would like to have more information about Erik Satie’s Sonatine
Bureaucratique. Because this sonatina is a parody of Clementi’s
Sonatina. In the same year of the birth of sonatine bureaucratique,
Satie made scandal on his first ballet performed (may 1917), in any
book, they don’t tell detail on what was happened. Then Satie was
sentences 8 days prison and because of a postcard sended by Satie
(to who and what the critic was I want to know). I think that postcard
was contains critic to bureaucrat that’s why Satie wrote Sonatine
Bureaucratique then. (is that correct ?).
I also don’t find any information about this sonatine in your website,
would please give me information. Because it is very difficult to find
that kind of information in my country.
I’ll look forward to have your reply. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dahlan
