[silence] Composers who use lots of silence

[Graham Urquhart]

An extreme realisation is Malfatti and Taku Sugimoto's /Futatsu.  /Disc 
1 is 71 mins of largely digital 'silence'.  I'm guessing that the sound 
generated noise would be less than a few minutes in totality with very 
long silences in between each note.

Also:

Bernard Gunter,

Richard Chartier

and Steve Roden

all spring to mind.
