While sound installations normally emphasize on the sound itself, we pay attention to silence. Silence is an integral part of any music/sound/noise composition. Without time, sound could not exist. We are waiting for the answers to two questions: Is silence a timeless phenomenon? Can we experience true silence in the current noisy environment?
