About

Erik Satie, the French musical poet, inspired Mike Svoboda to this special homage to the phenomenology of sound (‘phonometrics).

Close to the pulse of his time, Satie was a visionary with the courage to pursue slowness. Mike Svoboda takes over this idea by approaching Satie as a philosopher and forerunner of Dada and John Cage.

For this intriguing and well-filled programme, he has cleverly arranged some of Satie's miniatures and juxtaposed them with his original compositions created in the spirit of the visionary Parisian ‘phonometrist’. This new composer portrait, with joyfully contrasting music from Svoboda's pen, thus promises anything but music as fabric softener.
