(BB) Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Art Ensemble of Chicago is the first one that pops to mind, especially on "People in Sorrow". Actually I'm giving it a spin and as I listen to it and it's hard to say where there is "silence" and where a sound is left to find it own conclusion. I have the feeling that trying to define "silence" is right up there with trying to define what music is.

porcy62 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I wrote hundreds of compositions based on total silence. Never found a producer. And they were surely better then all the BS I posted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeform83 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 After the English group the Planets released a track called "A One Minute Silence," they were sued by Cage's estate for copyright infringement. The group's leader, Mike Batt, defended the piece by saying, “Mine is a much better silent piece anyway. I was able to say in one minute what took Cage four minutes and 33 seconds.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) And, I quoted you. You censored me, that is different. that's would be the way, but as silent composer I regret the wraps, some kind of unnecessary accent that disturbs the composition.

T.D. Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Another modern classical composer who writes a lot of silences is Salvatore Sciarrino. Ben Johnston's String Quartet #3 has a short "silent movement". It's on the New World recording. I listened before reading the liner notes, and it freaked me out.
