Roby Braun’s “Hommage à Satie” is one of those piano pieces that doesn’t ask for your attention, it earns it quietly. Released back in 2020, the track feels timeless, built on simplicity and restraint rather than spectacle. It’s clearly a nod to Erik Satie’s minimalist spirit, but Braun doesn’t get lost in imitation. Instead, he uses that influence as a starting point, then lets his own voice take the lead.

The composition unfolds gently, with each piano phrase placed carefully, never overcrowded. There’s a calm confidence in how the notes sit, leaving just enough space for the listener to breathe. It’s the kind of piece that works in the background but rewards you even more when you lean in. Every element feels intentional, balanced, and clean, nothing extra, nothing missing.
What adds an extra layer of excitement is Braun’s upcoming jazzy reinterpretation, set to arrive in December 2025 on Spotify and already available on YouTube. Knowing that a jazz-inflected version exists (and is on the way to streaming) reframes the original recording. It highlights how flexible the composition really is, strong enough to live comfortably in both classical and jazz spaces.

With the jazz version on the horizon, Roby Braun is quietly extending the life of this piece, proving that a good idea, when handled with care, doesn’t age out.
