100 Years ago Erik Satie died – Silent Punk and Revolutionary of His Time

On July 1st, 2025, we mark the 100th anniversary of Erik Satie’s death – a true oddball genius whose sparse piano works and ironic notation still feel fresh today. This article dives into the life and legacy of a man who drank too much absinthe, collected umbrellas like trophies, and composed some of the most quietly revolutionary music of the 20th century. From his only great love to his surreal friendships with Cocteau and Picasso, this is a deep but entertaining journey into the world of a man who was punk long before punk existed.
