Description
Discover the haunting beauty of Erik Satie’s Gnossienne No. 1, a piece composed in 1890 that defies traditional rules of rhythm and harmony.
Unlike classical norms of the time, Satie wrote this composition without bar lines or time signatures — giving the performer freedom and the music an otherworldly, floating quality. The word “Gnossienne” was invented by Satie himself, possibly inspired by the ancient Greek word gnosis (meaning knowledge or spiritual insight), and perhaps also by his fascination with ancient, forgotten rituals.
This musical vignette is paired with a minimal visual atmosphere — a moment of stillness, drifting gently through memory and silence.
