ArchivesCan anybody help me?
Hey, I ran into the name Sati in a Christopher Pike book by the same name. I'm fascinated by it, but I can't find anything on it. I'm creating a race for RPG's and am giving symbolic names to everyone in the mythology. Can anybody help me?

First, try outside the "classical" mythos, perhaps Norse or Indian, for Sati. Second, we need more info concerning your game's mythos in order to be helpful (especially fellow gamers). Perhaps looking at some serial novels in your local library from some of the gaming companies (i.e. Vampire: The Masquerade, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, etc.) might be helpful to you in some way.
Good luck in your RPG circle with your proposed game.

Sorry I can't help you, I'm afraid. I don't know anything about any Sati's... although it does bear a similarity to the English words satisfy and satire.
What RPG? I used to be involved in a Trek: Voyager RPG, it was fun and everyone was trying to make up names right and left - it was easy cause we were playing aliens. :)

I do not know Sati, but I know Satie
Erik Satie wrote some great piano pieces such as:
Gymnopédie No 1-3.

Satie the anagrammatist of Musicians
A remarkable Satie composition is Vexations, which repeats combinations of the same notes 840 times. John Cage organized the first recording of it in 1963 in New York, taking a relay team of 10 pianists more than 18 hours to perform.

Fascinating and cool bit of info, Priapos and Selwyn. Although we have a CD boxed set of Satie's music in our collection (including his Gymnopedies) I don't believe we have his Vexations. Must find it now! :)
John tells me to recommend Mozart to Priapos as another "anagrammist of musicians" -- specifically Mozart's diabolical piece titled "A Musical Dice Game". :)

Ultracool piece! And you can even replicate Mozart's experiment at home thanks to http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Mozart/dice/ :)

Hey PriaposLov and Nanaea
Have either of you heard any Sergei Prokofiev or Edvard Grieg? Prokofiev's most famous piece is Peter and the Wolf (I think), but I've tried his Sonata for Two Violins, Opus 56. Grieg composed three sonatas for violin and piano, but I can't quite recall the titles. You might be able to find some old recordings of them somewhere. If you do listen to them, could you give me your opinions of them?
