Silence can be terrifying\\u2014 Any moment that you\\u2019re not creating sound can feel a moment when you\\u2019re not keeping your listener\\u2019s attention. But silence is incredibly attention grabbing, and if done right can be one of the most valuable tools in any artist\\u2019s arsenal. Jeffrey and Joseph talk about how, at its core, silence is a structural element of audio, and how using it adjusts your sense of time, tension, and lends rhythm to your work.
