Erik Satie: The pianist of silence

Enter the world of Erik Satie, a brilliant precursor shrouded in mystery. This visionary artist felt he had “come into the world very young in a very old world”. With his bowler hat, false collar, seven mustard-colored velvet suits and fourteen black umbrellas, he created a unique character, as enigmatic as his work.

Prankster and melancholic, funny and visionary, Erik Satie was one of the inspirers of the Group of Six, who left their mark on music after the First World War. When he died, we discovered his modest home, overrun with dust and mountains of letters. The man remains a mystery. Maurice Ravel said of him: “Simply, but ingeniously, Satie showed the way.”
