Satie and furniture music: not all of Satie's music is "furniture music". In the strict sense the term applies only to five of his compositions, which he wrote in 1917, 1920, and 1923. For the first public performance of "furniture music" see Entr'acte. Satie as precursor: the only "precursor" discussion Satie was involved in during his lifetime was whether or not he was a precursor of Claude Debussy, but many would follow. Wikipedia

Satie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopedies . Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrograph" or "phonometrician," meaning "someone who measures (and writes down) sounds" www.classiccat.net/satie_e/biography.htm
Like many avant-gardists, Satie was a leftist - with each Socialist Party split, he stayed with the left faction, until he finally was a Bolshevik of sorts. During a long period of his later life he lived in the mediocre working-class suburb of Arcueil, www.idiocentrism.com/satie.htm
