Silence

Silence is dedicated to presenting challenging new sounds, music, performance, art and film and fostering a innovative, creative, receptive community through workshops, improvisation sessions, discussion groups, in an accessible, convivial, welcoming atmosphere. ‘High art’, ‘low art’, noisy, peaceful, quiet, loud, chaotic, disciplined, free, political, spiritual, angry, loving: makes no difference, as long as it makes us think and feel and challenges what we believe we know about sound, art, and aesthetics.

Experimental – improvised – noise – contemporary classical – ambient – installations – sound art – outside electronica – found objects – computer music – drone – handmade music – post rock – psych – freak music – etc…it all has a home at Silence.

Since our first concert in October 2012 we have presented and co-presented well over 350 concerts, workshops, screenings and special events–at no cost for artists. Morning Music (a free-improv session on Monday mornings) has been going non-stop since mid-2012, 52 weeks a year. In addition, we make our space and facilities available at a rate that is as affordable as can be managed. Individuals and groups for hundreds of additional events of various types have used our space because it lends itself well to an atmosphere of community, support, and careful listening that many types of music thrive in.
