Good "minimalist" piano music? [Erik Satie]
Well, here's the story...
I have 0 music history education beyond a community college music appreciation class... and I only discovered Erik Satie through his being mentioned in anther forum's discussion I found while trying to figure out the original composer for the Nintendo game, Shadowgate's OST (haha, yep. NERD).
It seems Erik Satie is very well-known, but, being clueless and uneducated, I'd literally never heard of him before that moment. I really love the stuff I have heard since though.
It's just...... good, simple music. It's not overly complicated or pretentious. It's melodic and emotive, frequently melancholic, and occasionally even a little bit eerie. I really like it a lot.
So, who are some comparable composers? Recommendable collected works?
I figure this is a reasonably good place to ask. Thanks.
