Tense slow Strings with sparse percussion and scary sound FX.
Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.
Happy, uptempo "Hot Club of France" type jazz, performed on acoustic guitars. ("Boulangerie" is French and means Bakery).
Classic 1960's, 1970's style funk-rock with a slick, modern sound. Funky bass line, Hammond organ. Fun and excitement, casinos and gambling, game shows, showtime. Jazzy and upbeat, exciting, Las Vegas. A little bit mischievous, cheeky. Takes on a more bluesy rock feel towards the end, with a blues guitar.
Quirky and upbeat track that gently builds with ukulele, marimba and percussion. The track has an infectious rhythmic shuffle. Perfect for use in Documentary, Lifestyle, Children or Reality spots. This track will give any spot a relaxed, warm and gentle feeling whilst giving us that quirky edge!
A grand and epic track that depicts a fantasy world or an amazing story of wonderment, perhaps magic. Starts off carefully and grows to a crescendo, climax towards the end.
A dark and mysterious soundtrack performed live in a style reminiscent of many of the classic 1960’s TV shows. Strings and vibes sustain a strange and eerie, dissonant chord, followed by a curious, inquisitive bassoon line in this suspenseful, retro cue.
A waltz for solo piano which conjures up images of Paris and popular song around 1900. The title translates into, 'I Want You', and reflects the sentimental nature of the track. A wonderful backdrop for European productions.
Slow and grave, ('Lent et grave'), the third Gymnopedie is perhaps the most heartbreaking. The whole ambience is punctuated by mournful melodies that have become so popular in modern productions.
The third in a series of highly expressive and free-flowing compositions by Satie is again at a slow pace like the first one. This gives the track a sombre and hypnotic quality. Creates an almost haunting atmosphere.
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec ?tonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.
