Post Subject: Black black silence...Posted by bernie_f on: 1/20/2011

Did you ever have a walk in fresh powder snow in the countryside? The zillions of crystals of water are doing a perfect job of damping noise - at least in the audible spectrum. Even big cities like the one i am living in are turning very quiet. One effect could be the lower noise-floor our gear has to fight against during playback. So decays and harmonics could have more chance to reach our ears without interference by ambience noise. Also don't forget what this silence and relaxation does to our mind and our capabilities to relax and let the music flow directly into our soul...
Peter Belt did a lot of research in that field. We should accept that the simple molecule of H2O in all his variations can do a lot of things scientists never thought possible. Maybe snow crystals lying around can even do something with all the hi-frequency noise filling the air and landscape surrounding us and our gear.
