I looped CrazyMonkey Music's lo-fi Satie to 30 minutes. A rainy day in LA had me hooked when it was suggested to me this morning! Here's his original: youtu.be/GbPeIkEVlzw .
The artist will realize I alternate between 2 versions of the loop, and I brought the beat back in a might earlier than his original. (I also lowered the bass by 4 dB; it hit too hard for my soft ears). I hope you enjoy it!
My recollection is that the 3 Gymnopedies by Erik Satie were written as background/ambience music to avoid being distracting to customers. In that way, it's there, but barely. And yet the vibe is so moody. It's also shockingly short. So I looped it.
When I first stumbled across it online, I realized it sounded like the Microscope puzzle in The 7th Guest (a.k.a. "Bolero"). Maybe that's a stretch. Or maybe Gymnopedie No 3 sounds more like it. But in listening to this loop, it sort of reminds me of Interstellar now as well!! What do you think?

Image credit goes to "Bing Create" Image Generator (which uses DALL-E 3). I used the prompt "1920s composer playing piano on a crane, in new york, wearing modern headphones, on a rainy day, grayscale". ("Erik Satie playing piano on a rainy day" was blocked because I can't use proper names for prompts). Then I expanded the sides using Photoshop's generative fill crop (after updating and installing the correct plug-in). I also fixed some oddities using content aware fill and cloning and then blurred the edges.
