Pure silence was just a figure used by musicians who advocated ambience.

It's not meant to be taken seriously or in long terms.

That's just because when they didnt here anything in the sample box they thought somthing was wrong so they DL'd it to listen (probably more than once to see if something went wrong the first time), problems with the sample box have happened b4, like in Bounc3's The Final Fantasy.

The value of silence has already been done. John Cage, 4"3'3 i believe, tho i may have got the " and ' the wrong way round.

If you want to fuck with your mind try find an anechoic chamber. Theres one in paris apparently, not sure where other ones are.

[NickScott]

Wow! 11! Even he agrees with you.

[gecko21189]

Calling silence music is about as dumb as creating a self-advertising topic while completely ignoring the Audio Advertisements thread.

Damn, that's what I was going to say, but I was too busy trying to give myself a blowjob and wasted some time doing that. Damn, stupid ribs getting in the way... I'll have to have some of them removed...

The only reason his song was even acknowledged was because it was played in a big audience, who would then make noise sort of creating an abience, if the audience had been completly silent then everyone would have criticised him...

[Cerrax]

Silence is NOT music and musical artists use it to either reveal a message or simply have a buffer between songs. Type O Negative did a track of complete silence on one of their albums titled something like "sounds of unbornchildren screaming in pain" or something. See the message there? Its not a song, its a silent message. Rob Dougan on the other hand, insterted a track of silence called "Pause", and uses it as just that, a pause between the first and second half of the album.

[Erkie]

If silence does serve a purpose, then it is undeniably art, and a valid form of music.

I still stick by what ambient artists have done with it.

Nah, cos if they managed to achieve actual silence, they would've heard their own heart beating and blood pumping through their ears.

Silence is a relative value. Tho its one thats got a range of values most people agree on.

Rob Dougan is probably the most talented and the hardest working man in the music industry right now.

If you don't know who Type O Negative is, you really need to get out more. Their unique blend of slow goth rock and death metal is well known.

And no, both of the albums I was talking about are on CD, so an entire track of silence is placed on the CD and in the tracklist on purpose and titled so they obviously have some importantance

[XBrav]

A whole track of silence...

No wonder Tom had to buy the new server.
