A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~ Leopold Stokowski
Music is the silence between the notes. ~ Claude Debussy
There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot. ~ John Cage
Complex Silence is an ambient music project and series of releases that venture into the realms of enigmatic and abstract ambience.
Each Complex Silence release features a different artist. The creative challenge is to explore the depths of long-form ambient music composed entirely of extremely subtle changes, dissonant harmonies, stretched-out harmonics, abstract tone washes, layers of mystical atmospheres, or field recordings, but without straying too far from beauty, mystery, or wonder.
The Complex Silence challenge is an open invitation to ambient musicians who would enjoy contributing their interpretations and explorations of these musical themes and ideas.
If you are an ambient music artist who would enjoy contributing to the Series, send us your demo tracks at this Soundcloud Dropbox
The official netlabel home of the Complex Silence Series is Treetrunk Records.
