Have you noticed the silence?
Recently I’ve been thinking about the experience I have after listening to a piece of music. Is it just me, or is there something special about that particular silence after the music stops? It always seems heightened, pleasurable and, ironically, loud. Lol, sometimes I like it more than the music I just heard.
It’s always been this way, for me,, I think. I just never stopped to really consider it. Have you had similar experience?

Gary Numan expressed the importance of silence in one of his songs - it just happens that he did it on the worst album he ever made (he freely admits this himself). It made me think at the time and I’ve tried to remember it while I make music - I often forget. I did a mix of @AlexY 4 track challenge. I put in a few breaks. I think those little slices of silence improved my mix quite a bit. So, even a little slice of silence matters, so more contemplative silence after a track is immensely important
Yeah, I experience something like that, especially in an orchestral or choir setting after a beautiful piece of music ends, when the director cuts off the last note and pauses a second or two. Nobody moves at all, or even breathes, until finally all the sounds fade away and the director lowers his/hands. But it’s that moment right after the last note is special, like the twilight zone moment of music, between tension and release. The golden pause.
Yes I agree. My playlists average an hour long, but i often pause it after about 20-25 minutes.
I’ll leave noise cancellation on and resume listening after 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy the silence
Know what? I never stopped to consider silence in the way you lot are describing.
Fascinating. I may jolly well incorporate silence into some of the Ambient works I plan to make. 
cleanse the palate
John Cage approves this thread…

😂😂😂 Indeed.
I know you've got every app under the sun, but you might need to look into adding a "silence generation" app to the collection.
Make sure it's Auv3 and that it syncs to the host DAW. Also, check that the MIDI parameters are accessable so you can use LFOs with it. Probably best to get one that has "silence IAPs" available. That way you can incorporate a range of different types of silence into your tracks.
😂🤣 That's hilarious, lol. There's definitely no such app, although there is audio editing.
A guy I jammed with in my youth was big on the it’s as much about when you don’t play as when you do. I can recall his playing being lovely in that regard, and try to remember it myself, especially when playing with others as it’s so easy to overplay in company…
Reminds me of a famous Miles Davis quote, ‘ It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play’.
Reminded me of John Cage.
As another great sage of music once said:
“Can you feel the silence?”
(Van Morrison)
I agree with all the above. In this case I’m specifically talking about what it feels like at the end of a piece. Silences within the music itself…. that’s something different and I’m in favor of that but, unfortunately, employ it too little.
I think I'm starting to understand more what you're getting at. It's the silence at the end of the musical journey you just partook in, ready for the next adventure.
Especially at a live performance with a LOUD band like thee oh sees! That silence between some songs can really give the ears a rest lol
But absolutely have thought about what you are saying. Its a moment to take in and digest what you just heard.
I think that period of time after listening to a piece of music is when your brain is calculating “was it good?” “was it memorable?”. I think it’s in this space of time where it is determined if what you just heard can or will be stuck in your head later.
And of course rests have always been just as important as notes in music, but that’s another topic.
That’s the one.
And true.
Silence as the pianist holds arms and hands motionless over the keys, even after last sound has faded away.
We just watched Tar last night and there’s a moment in that where the orchestra fades so slowly to nothing, I know that sense for sure; reality seeping back into the cracks of the world you’ve just been inhabiting through the music…
.
Silence how abstract a concept, similar in concept to nothingness.
Still your mind well to silence and nothingness and you will understand that there’s no such thing.
