about

The Gymnopédies are regarded as an important precursor to modern ambient music — gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. The melodies of the pieces use deliberate, but mild, dissonances against the harmony, producing a piquant, melancholy effect that matches the performance instructions, which are to play each piece "painfully", "sadly" or "gravely".
I adapted these three short pieces focusing on what they already were: ambient and relaxing, hypnotic, still harmonically ambiguous, a prophetic vision of music to come.
