I love Erik Satie. His eccentricity is so endearing. He only had one romantic relationship (allegedly, it's hard to think that's possible), with Suzanne Valadon. A lot of his music is so dissonant and lacking in direction that it's virtually inaccessible (he can take experimentation too far, I mean writing a typewriter into a score is kind of mental), but it's all about picking out the sweetcorn from the scraggy if you know what I mean, coz it's really worth making an effort to sift through his stuff to find the genuinely beautiful pieces. I relax by playing his piano pieces. My faves are Nocturne no.4 and the Gnossiennes (Gymnopedies as well but they're getting kind of cliched now). I'm a little obssessed with him to tell you the truth. :) He only ate white food you know.

Um, kind of stupid, but how do I change my time zone? I'll be operating on American time soon, I see it so often. Sorry I'm SUCH a technophobe.

I googled 'forums for young composers' just about a week ago. Weird this site came up, huh?
