Piernicola Di Muro, der unter dem Namen Bewider Musik für Filme und andere Medien komponiert und nebenbei im Feld tanzbarer Elektronik zuhause ist, hat während des Lockdowns im letzten Frühjahr Erik Saties drei Gymnopedies-Stücke mit modularen Synthies neu arrangiert. Die Aufnahmen sind unter dem Titel “Gymnopedies rework” als Download über Di Muros eigenes Netlabel erhältlich.
“Erik Satie’s three Gymnopedies are part of that listening imagination that has its origins in my very early years. A music my father frequently listened to. I remember that these three simple melodies have always captivated me and somehow enchanted me. Taking them back and transforming them into a new electronic arrangement was a very spontaneous process that made me rediscover them again. They have something musically magical and eternal, an infinite modernity. The whole rework process was almost entirely (was done almost at a 90%) done with analogue synths and in almost one single recording session, in order to try and make the most out of the instinctive live performance.” (Bewider)
