Sorry that I worded that sloppily; I meant that I read (I think in _The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors_) that Cage had learned about the works of Satie because he did some kind of tedious work involving writing out the sheet music for Satie's music as part of his college studies or something. I'm not sure if this meant that he helped publish some of Satie's unpublished sheet music or what... it was years ago I read this as it is what really got me listenning to SAtie. Last spring I saw a documentary (still somewhat unfinished in its' translation to English subtitles) about Satie that seemed to fall a little flat of my expectations but was visually rich (Satie's haunts, homes, neighborhoods, schools) I'm a big Satie fan now. I think that Japanese guy does the sad/odd peices best and the Italian pianist does the funny peices best. sorry my details are spotty... I urge IDMer's to go check out some Satie piano works from your public library... I think that Like a Tim is a nihilist=punk techno-geek version of Satie, esp concerning using music to communicate deadpan humor.
