Performance Erik Satie - Gnossienne No. 1 on Classical Guitar

Hi everyone,

Here is my short interpretation of Erik Satie's Gnossienne No. 1 on classical guitar.

I always felt this melody had a mysterious, almost witchy atmosphere. To enhance that mood, I created a short visual journey—starting with a drone shot entering a deep forest, leading into a walk through the dark.

I wanted to blend this dark visual storytelling with a warm, intimate guitar tone and relaxed rubato.

  • Guitar: Western Red Cedar Soundboard / Brazilian Rosewood (Jacaranda) Back & Sides
  • Audio Setup: Recorded with Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 & Condenser Microphones (MXL GENESIS FET)

Hope you enjoy the music and the visuals. Any thoughts on the tone or overall atmosphere are always welcome!
