Após entrar em uma câmara anecoica (espaço à prova de sons externos) John Cage relatou ter escutado duas frequências, uma grave e outra aguda. A frequência grave era o som de seu sangue correndo em suas veias e artérias e a aguda era relativa à atividade cerebral. 

O silêncio não existe / There's no such thing as silence / El silencio no existe / Es gibt keine Stille

O Silêncio Não Existe

why does the sun fall down 
even when rain is far
why does the sky not light up
when the clouds go away

stay
stay with me
hold onto yourself
trust your sun to rise again

hold onto yourself 

(trust the sun to rise again)
feel the world around your mind (stay with me)
see the whispers of your life (hold onto yourself)
life that changed and broke with sighs 
life that was rebuilt so many times

trust your sun
trust your sun
trust your sun

trust your sun

The Police - Shadows In The Rain (Birmingham, AL 16-03-1982 USA) (HQ Audio from 1st Gen. Tape)

Welcome to another life
It’s in another time
Sharpening again my knife
Out of this dullness I try climb

Another dimension
I’m stuck inside the brain
I just can’t resolve this tension
Walking through a world of pain

Swivel with me left and right
The earth continues spinning
Sense every second, I’m alright
Just scanning each and every feeling

They say that it’s a problem
I say that it’s not real
Could this be simply out of boredom
This never ending cartwheel

I fasten my lids in seconds
The diamonds still sparkling above
Weighed down by the stones of his weapons
Check that I’ve woken, I look up

…
I’m alright
Just scanning each and every feeling
They say that it’s a problem
I say that it’s not real
…
This never ending cartwheel

Another dimension
Stuck inside the brain
I just can’t resolve this tension
Walking through the world of pain

Welcome to another life
It’s in another time
Sharpening again my knife
Out of this dullness I try climb

Another dimension
I’m stuck inside the brain
Just can’t resolve this tension
Walking through the world of pain

Im Kanu (2015)

All audio in this track is from 12 slide whistles played by 12 small electric blowers. The blowers are programmed to carefully oscillate at a flow rate close to that at which the whistles overblows. These sounds are pretty quiet in real life even though they sometimes sound intense.

No electronics were added and I made minimal adjustments to the original sounds, mostly moving things around a bit.

Chicago Blues for two electric guitars
First track of the album Black Lake Blues (Suoni Possibili Records 2020)
21st Century Blues 
by two of the most important contemporary music guitarists 
Suoni Possibili Records 

The tracks on “Black Lake Blues” were recorded over the course of a week in late August 2019, when Sergio and I were giving workshops and performances at the XXXVI International Guitar Festival in the stunningly beautiful town of Lagonegro, in southern Italy. These are tunes of exploration, creativity, spontaneity and friendship, our first-ever collaboration, though deep in the recording process, it always felt like we had played together forever. Some of this was written beforehand, some was loosely charted out over expressos and/or wine, some came together after brief conversations immediately before hitting “record”….and we just went with it. And now we’re sending it out into the world, so you can get with it too.
(John King)

Personnel:
John King, electric guitar and electronics
Sergio Sorrentino, electric guitar and electronics
Recorded in Lagonegro during the XXXVI International Guitar Festival (from 8/20 to 8/23 2019)
Mastered in New York City by John King
