Please forgive me for being simple here, but I have another question(and i
started this thread? yipes!) KM, are you saying that in the case of
"studying nothingness" that the constuct is devoid of sound? that the empty
soundfile, although it seems to have a sound, actually doesn't? or that the
construct has an inherent sound, and that is what we are "studying"? thanks
for clarifying your statement, i'm really trying to grasp your idea about
the sound, or lack of.
