Silence brings up thoughts of mans ability and inability to listen to, emulate, compose, and arrange music. It seems that as humans we are slaves to the phenomenon of sound in a variety of ways, we subconsciously filter out or ignore sounds we find annoying, while we amplify or surround ourselves with the sounds we do enjoy. This brings up thoughts of the ethnomusicology subject the soundscape, or the surrounding sounds of any specific area. It also reminds me of the human need to arrange or organize this thing we call sound. It seems almost primal in our nature as humans that we have this urge to rearrange the sounds that we hear in an audibly satisfying way.
