Complex Silence

Complex Silence was an ambient music project and series of releases that venture into the realms of enigmatic and abstract ambience, each release featuring a different artist. The creative challenge was to explore the depths of long-form ambient music composed entirely of extremely subtle changes, dissonant harmonies, stretched-out harmonics, abstract tone washes, layers of mystical atmospheres, or field recordings, but without straying too far from beauty, mystery, or wonder. The Complex Silence challenge was an open invitation to ambient musicians who would enjoy contributing their interpretations and explorations of these musical themes and ideas. The project is now inactive.
