[silence] silence, sound, music, noise

[Brian Fending]

I really enjoyed Audio Culture; you might start to compile a reading  
list (or at least a list of authors/names) from it.

   Audio Culture: Readings In Modern Music
   Christoph Cox & Daniel Warner, editors

It was originally mentioned on this list in Nov 2004:
