"Nope, Satie did not call his music 'furniture music'"--this appears to be what you mean by your reply ...the book I read must have just made it up, I wonder how much of the rest of the book was false then! ;-> I source _The Bride Stripped Bare_, as well as the liner notes to my Nonesuch label Satie records, what's yours? This is my last public post on the thread, I'll happily discuss it privately as it ain't IDM'ish subject matter...
