Live recording from a concert with our 11 years old students at Eiksmarka. This soundscape is an improvisation we made after listening to a recordning of silence from a cloud forest in Costa Rica. We explored this with the iOS app 4'33'', talked about the original work by John Cage and reflected on how we could use the "sound of silence" to make new music. 
We decided to build the improvisation on one rhythmic motif and the four notes C, A, G and E, based on what we heard in the recording from the cloud forrest. (Notes are transposed to match our instruments.) This whim was prepared an hour before a concert. Now we're inspired to explore this more thoroughly in another setting.

<b>HOWEVER: How fun and interesting wouldn't it be if you did the same? We could compare and listen to each others works? Record and upload the sound of silence via the 4'33'' app, or use existing recordings in the app, make some music based on what you hear - and share it with us.</b>
