Silence
"It is better to make a piece of music than to perform
one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to
one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or
acquisition of "culture."
John Cage

having frets on the neck over which two or three metal strings run,
plucked by pick of the right hand while playing.
Here, Mr. Somprasong play a double headed phin.

Recorded speech
"…By using recorded speech as a source of electronic or tape music, speech-melody and
meaning are presented as they naturally occur. It's quite different from setting words to
music where one as to fit a number of syllabus to number of notes, and decide what their
melody relation will be. In speech, question of how many notes to a syllabi, or what their
melody will be, do not arise: the speech just come out. instead of setting words to music, I
simply choose the exact segment of recorded speech I was intuitively drawn to as musical
material. My original interest in electronic music was the possibility of working with recorded
speech…"
Steve Reich, "Writtings in music, 1965-2000 , Oxford University Press, 2002
