Wasn't Cages original idea that there really couldn't be a silent

piece? New sound appeared with each new audience. The audience, in a

way, become the performance. Likewise, they're the performers. So, it

seems the volume would be proportional to the amount of peeps that

paid to experience a live show. Like us, at this virtual outing on a

thread that began so softly, it's tough to remain completely silent

for too long.
