Thanks so much for this splendid writing about Satie! For me, it's as if the hauntological presence of David Foster Wallace showed up to match the known and yet unknowable genius that is Satie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnopédies#Legacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnopédies#Legacy I had arranged variations on a theme by Erik Satie when I was in music school so my experience is indeed a wormhole through pop to Satie - very old pop, but pop nonetheless. The involvement of John Cage just makes it more unique and special to me since we had played him too at the time. Thanks again. Love the writing here. The author met his subject's match!
