Bill,

Philip Glass already beat you to the silent recording. He even tried to copyright and patent silence. (Not sure I remember the result of that effort).

You should try getting a REALLY clean crisp guitar intro to one of your songs, and then instead of singing, do a spoken word performance of one of your lyrics.. and then post it on Spoken Word.. you might be surprised how it does.. or you could even do it without the music.. if the lyric is really cool and can stand alone, you also might be surprised. That's the fun thing about Ourstage, you can experiment, try different things and you'll get some response on what folks think about it.. if it's in the bottom 20% they don't like it. But so what.. .try something else.. I'd write a new song for as many channels as possible every month and post it and see how long it took me to hit the top 50%.
