October 13, 20169 yr As I love Satie, sometimes I "try to copy" his style, and I play with harmonies and chords...
October 13, 20169 yr Lovely. There couldn't be any doubt about the influence of Satie in these. I always adore music which has so much clashing harmony used to such a soft effect. In Long Drink, it's interesting how the melody emphasizes the Eb/D#, which is pretty unrelated from the bulk of the harmony. I have a question about one of the chords you use in the End of the Day Gnossienne (ignorance on my part). What distinguishes a min7(b5) from a regular dim7 chord?
October 13, 20169 yr Author Min7b5 : 1 - b3 - b5 - b7 dim7 : 1 - b3 - b5 - bb7 example Dm7b5: D-F-Ab-C Ddim7: D-F-Ab-Cb
October 14, 20169 yr Nice. For fun I was playing along with a clarinet counter melody. I love the Satie sound. Wasn't he the first minimalist? I think so. That chord is sometimes referred to as a Half-diminished chord because it's only a flat seven. (ø) as opposed to (o)
October 14, 20169 yr Honestly, don't know very much about this Satie, but if it's as pleasant as you make it sound, I'll sure go have a listen. I especially love the second one... when a person uses minor major 7th chords well I can't help but be entertained.
October 14, 20169 yr Thanks for the explanation Luis and Ken. I'm a little uneducated about some chord naming conventions.

Here are Satie's original Gnossiennes where you can hear the modal harmonies that give it its mysteries that I never grow tired of. Edited October 16, 20169 yr by johnbucket Tidied up formatting
