This is the stuff I like:
I have tried in the past to make Gnossienne in my DAW, but it didn't work.
Suggestions
How to best make this style

kill the grid. satie wrote the gnossiennes without bar lines or time signatures. if you quantize or force it to a metronome, the feeling dies instantly. record it live on a keyboard with natural rubato.
use the hungarian minor scale (minor scale with a raised 4th) to get that signature exotic, melancholic pull.
keep the structure to a low bass note on one, followed by a quiet chord on two and three. let the melody float sparsely on top.
