'Gymnopedie' 1111111111111111


Brendan Landis, the Brooklyn-based sound artist known as Hey Exit, has devised a transformation of Erik Satie’s “Gymnopedie”
No. 1 by overlaying every recording of the solo-piano piece onto a single audio track.

“As each plays at the same time, the attention shifts to the variations in tempo and phrasing, and [the overlay] creates a dense sound with rounded edges. Wild stuff!” opines Musical Toronto.

Mesmerizing stuff, I’d say:
