The Beauty of Silence
Encyclopedia
The Beauty of Silence is an uplifting trance
track that was composed and produced by Sven Maes
and Johan Gielen. The song was a huge hit in Japan
and was the title track for a compilation of singles released by Avex
. The Beauty of Silence was the theme to the 5th edition of the European dance event called Trance Energy
.
Although it has not been re-released due to changes in the originating duo, it has retained its popularity over the years.
It has been included on the two-disc album Club Nation America by Johnny Vicious
and Tall Paul.
One of the show points of this tune is the silence transitioning two passages of the tune. Trance is marked by repetitious rhythmic electronic beat and here it is played in point and counterpoint. Even as an actor grabs the crowd by flouting the taboo of placing his back to the audience or as the artist accentuates the white space on a page to transform the paint, S&G have turned the reverberating silence into a startling climactic release of energy before going into the next draught of frenzy.
As a result of the song's success in Japan, it was included on beatmania IIDX 7th Style
as a playable song with two other songs licensed by Avex
.
Svenson & Gielen have also made a music video
of their performance at a 1000-member concert in Europe.
