Six Parts Seven: Silence Magnifies Sound
Album number two.
Recorded in 1998, and not released until 2000.
Silence Magnifies Sound.
This title: It's the heart-wood, solid behind this music.
Less is always more.
Hear the notes, experience the space that opens behind them;
And, feel, for a second,
What you have forgotten among the things that truly matter.
Here is where things blur: Vortex and swirl.
Six Parts Seven was born in 1995, when we recorded our first album (cassette release only).
Started out on, no joke,
Lonesome Road, in Brady Lake, Ohio. Not giving a fuck about anyone else's music...
Six Parts Seven, at this time, played pure.
Partly a punk reaction to the early 90's DIY scene of bombastically loud music.
This band forged their own path, prior to Explosions in the Sky, and years before Mogwai hit the states.
Call it synergy. Call it bullshit. Either, this is your jam, or, it's not.
Keep in mind: The real magic in all music - is that the listener completes the art.
Silence Magnifies your own sound.

I heard this when watching After Life and it just 'clicked'. I wasn't happy at that moment and was going through a tough time but the series and the music made me feel really alive again. It was like my vision was troubled but this song (and others) made me see clearly again/ face my inner demons. β¨π When I was isolating myself again, this made me realize to loosen up and connect with myself, others, nature, life. cruellanochill

Great album! Sometimes itβs calm and relaxing but it can also be tense and driving. Lots of texture here and lots of soundscapes to get lost in. DeepDarkDweller
