Erik Satie was een excentrieke Franse componist en pianist die een kleurrijke figuur werd in de Parijse avant-garde van het begin van de 20e eeuw. Zijn vernieuwende muzikale werken liepen vooruit op latere kunststromingen zoals minimalisme en repetitieve muziek. Satie noemde zichzelf een "fonometricus" en liet naast zijn muziek een opmerkelijke verzameling geschriften na die bijdroegen aan diverse publicaties. Zijn unieke benadering van kunst en leven maakt hem tot een boeiende persoonlijkheid voor liefhebbers van zowel muziek als literatuur.

This is the largest selection, in any language, of the writings of Erik Satie. Although he was dismissed as an eccentric by many, Satie has come to be seen as a key influence on modern music. The appeal of his writings, however, go far beyond their musical value. He is revealed as one of the most beguiling of absurdists, in the mode of Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear, but with a strong streak of Dadaism (a movement with which he collaborated).
