The name also appeared in my 2016 poem I Will Live in The Disappear giving the band it's subtitle "The Unfound Profound." I like the name The New Sound of Silence for many reasons, the contradictory nature of it, the idea of newness being added to something that seems empty, "New" being in the title after having my 1st band named simple "New," that it is close to the song name the "Sound of Silence" which is good for search terms & the fact that my EP already has top search results for the name. I've also liked the name of the band The New Sound of Numbers. I may be uploading the back catalog to streaming services under this new name.
It is also nod to embracing AI in composition. Using AI at times in the past, in it's infantcy in 2004's The Darkened Reality of Real-Estate, to allowing it to be added to my toolbox from 2007's Yestermorrow onward. From the joy of experimentation to the lack of free time it is a fun tool to embrace, as it has been with visual art AI, though I' still doing a lot of instrument arrangement & production as I always have. I am the one who spurs the machines & finds the beauty they give me & nutures it. And since I've come through 20 years with no fans but myself I'm gonna enjoy the most relaxing parts of the creative process & eat the fruit I grow with the fertilizers of the future.
