This is a 2 hour looped version of Gnossienne no.1 by the French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) and was composed in 1890. The piece is marked Lent — Slow.

The first Gnossienne, alongside the first Gymnopedie has got to be one of the most recognisable and most covered classical pieces of all time — and its no wonder — the composition conjures up so many images — mystery, suspense, dread and even violence are the first thoughts that come to my mind.

The score itself is also very interesting to look at — as it is written in free-time, with no bar lines or time signature, and can appear quite unusual to the eye to those more useto looking at more conventional forms of musical notation. But I love the amount of freedom with rhythm and interpretation that such writing allows the performer!
