can’t remember what I was watching, but I accidentally muted it just when a dramatic scene started, and I was so riveted by the scene having no sound at all.
i had to focus only on the scene, and it was so suspenseful, tense, and immersive, thought the director was a genius for taking such risks and it paid off… eventually I noticed it was on mute.
When something like that happens, I automatically assume it’s on mute or frozen, so I can’t get those kinds of masterpiece moments. I wish I could trust art as much as you.
I don’t know if it’s still a thing in the digital age, but having even just a few seconds of dead air back in the analogue broadcast days could mean that “silence detectors” all over the country would start going off and radio engineers everywhere would think there was some kind of problem with their station. So there had to be talking, music, something at pretty much all times.
If you wanted intentional silence you could play comfort noise in the background.
