bb> Actually heard him interviewed on BBC 4 and realized he's playing up
the silence thing for attention. He's actually including anything that
drops beneath a certain threshold, and the BBC has it's own issues with
compression anyway, meaning that the result is actually a pretty nice (if
minimal) collage of compressor attacks, breathing sounds, paper shuffling,
background studio noise, telephone reverberation envelopes from interviews,
and the weird-if-engaging sounds of people's saliva sloshing around in
their mouths. Not silence at all.
And the copyright issue was not raised by either side in the piece.
