It explores the acoustic, social, psychological, spatial and performative sides and shapes of it throughout. The issue glides through sound art, dance, philosophy, perception and the politics of withholding, thinking about the things that make silence feel 'full'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe pieces shown here in the photos move from Kafka’s \u003cem\u003eThe Silence of the Sirens\u003c\/em\u003e and writing on inner listening, to Junko Wada and Hans Peter Kuhn’s dance-sound work, Neil McLachlan on perceptual reference frames and “existential noise”, and reflections on voice, architecture, death and performance. The design itself is doing part of the argument: broken typography, interruptions, sparse pages and long vertical lines make reading feel almost scored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis copy is especially amazing because it retains Domenico de Clario’s accompanying \u003cstrong\u003e1998 double CD, \u003cem\u003eLove Songs for Lost Sheep\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, recorded at the University of Western Sydney with de Clario on piano and voice.
