Thanks for all the responses!
About silence: I think works like Cage's 4'33'' already showed that music
can be silence, so I was including silence (which is different from
non-music) when I used the term 'music.'
As an ethnomusicology student I'm interested not only in composition
processes and conventions among producers, but also among the audience.
As I'm entering into this field as a researcher (and not as an artist), it's
really important to have your points of view on the issue.
Best,
Leo
