We only hear what we listen for.
Try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.
I don't need sound to talk to me.
One need not fear for the future of music.
Which is more musical, a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school? Are the people inside the school musical and the ones outside unmusical? What if the ones inside can't hear very well, would that change my question?
Whether I make them or not, there are always sounds to be heard and all of them are excellent.
