Mouvement 1 - GM

Mouvement 2 - LULLABY

Mouvement 3 - FANTASTIC TALE

The annotations for the Petit prélude are a matter-of-fact itinerary that Satie certainly followed himself ("Wake up...Brush your hair well...Go for a good walk")

In the Berceuse, little Pierrot is tucked in for the night by his mother. She assures him his grandparents will know he was a good boy - they'll see it in the newspaper.

In the Marche a king has built a 1000-step ivory staircase so beautiful that people are afraid to use it. The king himself leaves his room by jumping out the window. He is so fond of the staircase he wants to have it stuffed.

Each of the three movements display a different family of shapes, connected to Satie's stories for the three movements.

Compositions

Ensemble

Ensembles are strange and abstract clusters freely composed by the algorithm with a few very basic rules. They tend to produce strange creatures that resemble "human animals" by Corneille, Constant, and Appel

(My favourite)

Disclaimer: This is a WILD algorithm, since it tries to emulate children drawings —children having a wild imagination and a non-polished technique—. The unstructured compositions are intended, and still unexpected when looked at, one by one. I'll be studying them over the course of the nex months. I think they have a lot to teach us for Enfantines III (the last of the series)
