Re: [microsound] electronic improv recommendations

i could very well be wrong about this.. but a digital "silent
waveform" is simply a soundfile with nothing there... 00000000. and,
would seem to reason that YES.. it is true silence.. not counting of
course the hiss or hum coming out of your amplification system upon
playback or whatever..

i'm sure there are silence purists out there who will find fault in
what i'm saying.. but that's the way i perceive it anyway... but i'm
not an expert..
