[silence] silence, sound, music, noise

[wim maesschalck]

Hello dear list,

I've been reading this list for a few months now and i value its source of
information wholeheartedly, but now i thought it was a good time to ask a
question myself. I'm a philosophy student and I'm writing my final work
about the boundaries between silence, sound, music and noise (the latter
both in a plain noise context, as in noise music. Obviously Cage is from
great importance, and I've been reading bits and pieces about him and about
4'33", but I was wondering of some of you have good recommendations, both in
books as in music that could possibly interest me?  From examples that
really challenge those boundaries, as well as texts about them. Any
link/book/author/composer is greatly appreciated.

I just found out about a new David Toop record where he uses silence a lot
apparently, but I haven't had the chance to hear it yet. He also wrote a
book "Haunted weather" that should be interesting to other people who want
to read more about those boundaries), it's ordered but it takes a while to
arrive..

Thanks for reading,


Wim
