"gymnognométrie" 2.0
2026
SATIE 2.0 – GYMNOGNOMÉTRIE offers a continuous journey through Erik Satie's complete Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes, brought together in a single, uninterrupted piece. Each work is strictly respected in its structure, composition and progression, while being integrated into a fluid and coherent overall form.
The rearrangement, by Olivier Wenkin, highlights an assertive metronomic spirit, resonating with Satie's aesthetic: a regular, almost mechanical pulse that supports slowness, repetition and the suspension of time. This constant beat acts as a common thread, linking the pieces together and revealing their deep musical kinship.
Performed on piano by Olivier Wenkin, GYMNOGNOMÉTRIE unfolds as a long continuous movement, both faithful to the original work and in tune with contemporary listening. The project invites listeners to an immersive, contemplative experience, where Satie's music appears in all its timeless modernity.
