about

It would be easy to assume Now That’s What I Call Silence was inspired by John Cage’s 4’33” from 1952, but the truer impetus is Blank Tapes by Reynols back in 2000. The idea of silence as non-existent & perceived silence having sound of course has been around a lot longer than either of those pieces & this compilation was not meant to be shocking or innovative as much as an invitation to experimentation. With Small Life Form I’ve explored amplifying near silence countless times using tape heads on random metal, boosting noise floors on “blank” recordings, allowing infinite loop builds in an empty house, the sound of the endless groove at the end of a vinyl record – it’s everywhere & I wanted to hear what other people would do with the concept & am extremely happy to have contributions of silence from the following (some of which were rejected from Spotify for being “too silent”): X-Bax, Small Life Form, High Tunnels, Heavy for the Vintage, Ben Link Collins, Toni Dimitrov, Charles De Mar, Electric Bird Noise, Can Can Heads, Bodies That Matter, Subscape Annex, Heavy for the Vintage, Remora, Baptizer, Premature Burial, Goddakk, LoveyDove, & Konbanwa.
So sit back & relax to enjoy a combination of silence & ambient industrial sound structures.
