Fifty-Nine

According to my research, stemming from my affinity of OST's (Orchestral Soundtracks),
I have found that Erik Satie not only composed Gnossienne No. 1, but in fact it was part of a collection.

This collection being, "Les Gnossiennes," written after his more famous "Gymnopedie" which was one of the earliest forms of ambient music. He was a french composer of the late 19th century and catagorized his work as "furniture music" as it was something more to be setting a mood in the background than focused on.

Such delicate moods and harmonies make it perfectly clear to me that his music be used in movies such as The Painted Veil --where I stumbled upon Gnossienne No. 1. It also seems poignant that music such as this was littered in Possession merely because of the plot's timeline and setting. Both films having fantastic OST's (in my opinion) and are great examples of truly using ambient music to set the tone of a scene.

{Absobloodylutely fascinating.}
