Shades Of Satie features the famous Romantic era piano work of eccentric French composer Erik Satie. Its simplicity is intentional, revealing profound beauty. The beautiful melody, a single, flowing line of quarter notes, rises and falls like ocean waves, while the long, sustained rhythms create a sense of floating through time.
