[silence] Composers who use lots of silence

[Thanos Chrysakis]

Hello,


...as has been mentioned already...
Radu Malfatti fits the bill very well
with "tons" of silence:

Also, check the late Luigi Nono:

especially :

Fragmente-Stille, An Diotima [string quartet]
and
Quando stanno morendo,
Diario Pollacco No.2 
for 4 female voices, Bass flute, cello and live-electronics


Best,
Thanos Chrysakis
