For your enjoyment this weekend, a new, special video cut of Erik Satie's beautiful Gnossienne 4. The Gnossiennes and Gymnopedies are rich in subtle contrasts. They feel as old as time itself yet strangely contemporary, tender yet detached, structured yet floating. For me they are all about creating atmosphere using the dynamic interplay between sound and silence, closeness and distance, warmth and coolness. It's an aesthetic I recognise in traditional Chinese art which favours suggestion over certainty. These contrasts come to the surface even more clearly on guitar, which excels in capturing fleeting nuances, shifting colours and almost whispered intimacy. Two guitars feature in my arrangement, the top line played on a guitar by Australian Luthier Greg Smallman, with the supporting line on a seven string guitar by Oxfordshire luthier Paul Fisher. You can listen to the the studio recording on my album Chapeau Satie, on all the usual streaming platforms.

Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), a British philosopher, logician, and Nobel laureate, offers a sharp critique of Marxism: ‘Marxism has failed because Marx was inspired by the unkindly feeling of hating the bourgeois, rather than the kindly feeling of loving the proletariat.’ He is perhaps best known for his masterpiece, A History of Western Philosophy. In this book, he provides an overview of philosophical thought from ancient Greece to the modern era, offering mostly a historical account including his own sharp and sometimes controversial critiques of key philosophers and their ideas. 📩 DM for credit or removal requests. 🎥 All rights reserved to the original creator(s).
