Satie Ekphrasis Recited

SATIE EKPHRASIS
Master of the avant-garde,
eccentric and extra peculiar.
This ‘velvet gentleman’ of
cordoroy suit and hat.Inspiration
of the provocative and artist 
hoaxs with the collaborative.
Erik’s gnossienne gymonpedie
genie of the pregnant pause.
‘as is moments’ stark…simple
without pretence…sounds…
..then…silence.

Listen to me recite this ekphrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro

Satie's "gymonpedie" ...has long been one of my favorite pieces.....so quietly elegant, and reverent almost.............as is this poem in his honor. I'm so impressed Brian, by the accomplishment of your recitations!! The time put in has been so worthy! Hope you and Kathy are doing well ! :)
