Happy Birthday, Erik Satie


What is furnishing music? A pleasure! Furnishing music replaces waltzes and operas.  Do not be mistaken, it is something else! No more false music but musical furniture! Furnishing music completes your belongings, it allows for everything; it is worth gold; it is new; it does not disturb habits; it is not tiring; it does not run out; it is not boring. To adopt it is to do better! Listen at ease!  Talk! Move around! Don’t listen!  I beg you not to listen!

Erik Satie, born on this day in 1866
