Satie

so i'm actually supposed to be reading my doc reader. the novel is not entirely boring, but my suitemates are complaining a lot about it. guess cos it's about chinese i finally get less repelled by it. for once. i'm almost killed by the BORING reader this quarter.
but i started downloading. a big SORRY to the dying classical music industry. well, heck it's dying anyways. but i swear i'll try to buy the cd's soon. i suddenly fell in love with satie. haven't listened to french music for quite a while. all this time been jumping up and down with the wicked dramatic russian tunes. so i think satie's cool. i like the dancing melodies in Gnossiennes, like the kind of music you hear in art films. like, i can imagine the slow mo and lingering eyes and water colorish pictures...and the hidden emotions and clever stories. Gymnopedies are simply too over-performed. the melodies just sound so cliche. k, that remark wasn't fair. shouldn't dissmiss the work cos it's over played. but still... i also like the unexpectedness in Trois airs à fuir very interesting. ok. this is turning into a review. no. brrrrrrrrrrake.

before i leave the topic, satie is reportedly an eccentric person. anyone tell me more? like i've never heard much of him before. k. fine. i go google more myself.

also accidentally, i got flemming's beau soir(debussy). well, how do i put it. it's nice. but her voice just seems too heavy for the part. it's like, a foggy night. might just be beautiful too, but the opaqueness just kind of feels weird. still puzzled why veronique is not famous. :( in my opion she's much better than most of other singers i've heard as far as the melodies are concerned. equally weird. she's supposed to be famous for singing mozart. i don't like mozart anyways. so i don't care.
