“Furniture music”, w/ Katerina Chatzinikolau (violin) and Sissi Makropoulou (harp)

Release: September 21st, 2025 / self-released

Format: Digital

„Furniture music“ is how Eric Satie would describe a type of composition that is meant to compliment a space. The utilistic and rather humorous prism under which he suggested art, did not only offer a new path in the creative process, but was also revolutionary in its tactful polemic towards the establishment. But then again, it was the fin de siècle, the most innovative period to be an artist. Today we use the word “ambient” , we facilitate numerous releases of this genre, and support music that decorates one room, while we are in another, virtual or real.

With Katerina Chatzinikolau on violin and Sissi Makropoulou on harp, “furniture music“ entails beloved music by E.Satie and S.Rachmaninoff, arranged by the duo.

Recorded in a rehearsal hall of the Megaron Hall of Athens

Edited by Katerina Chatzinikolau

Mixed and mastered by Sissi Makropoulou

Self-released digitally by the duo.
