The term GYMNOPEDIE COMPOSER is referring to the French composer Erik Satie (5 letters). Satie was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. He is best known for his three Gymnopedies, which were composed in 1888 and are considered to be the first examples of modern ambient music. Satie's works also had a profound influence on later composers such as Debussy and Ravel.
