In response to Stuart Sims’ “The Assault Against Silence and Why Silence Matters” it yet again brings the phrase “If it’s too loud, then you’re too loud” immediately to ones mind. Sims seems to simply just be whining about anything everything simply because he can. You can’t do anything about all of this noise or so-called noise pollution, why must he persist on crying about it? To me, Sims to lighten up and turn that volume knob up to MAX and just let loose. Enjoy noise.
John Cage came to my mind when reading this. Cage seemed to think everything is music. He indeed was one of a kind. I certainly don’t believe that Cage would ever agree with Sims completely, if even at all. I know it seems crazy to think that every little noise or sound could be music, and at times…it is a bit strange to think like that…i.e: Bjork. But it still is something you can’t really get away from. I don’t agree with Sims on this matter at all.
