Satie's Gymnopedies have been on our household's "calming & focused" playlists for years now. Highly recommend, and I look forward to hearing these new works, too.

Did you perchance find these originally on youtube? They're very popular on their autosuggestions.

They’re hugely famous, I don’t think most people’s first encounter with them would be as YouTube suggestions

I think you’re overestimating how much people listen to music from 100 years ago. Youtube is probably hugely responsible for Erik’s modern popularity.

I think you live in a bubble ignorant of classical music.

Nope, I listen to a lot of classical music. And a lot I listen through youtube, Satie is just one of the few that I "met" through youtube, the others I know from elsewhere and I purposefully search them like Beethoven, Mozart Bach, Ravel, Xenakis, Bernstein

Yep, I was talking to amrocha, who has no idea what he is talking about.
