about

A reimagining of Gymnopédie No. 1 that properly honors its place in the history of ambient and avant-garde music.

"Experience is a form of paralysis." -Erik Satie

Purchase includes digital booklet with essays by Nick Fagnilli and Amelia Brey.

"...Nick has unearthed a powerful self-replicating procedure from within Gymnopedie No. 1 which has produced from it an expansive work, achieving even a feeling of transcendence. When we compose, all of the music we write down ultimately succeeds or fails based on its success in speaking for itself, according to the spooky animate phenomena that placing notes together unlocks, and likewise, the impression in Ceci N’est Pas is that it functions not at all by accident, nor that it is an inevitable product of the system Nick devised: it seems, indubitably, that something is speaking. I will not pretend to know what it is or how it operates, but it doesn’t matter: it speaks, and continues to speak, and could continue to speak for much longer if it wanted to."

-Amelia Brey
