Some professional musicians are getting fed up with the amateurs on
X- Factor getting the Christmas No.1, so they've put out a recording
of John Cage's 4'33", this is a piece composed in 1952 which is for
any number of musicians to remain silent for 4 minutes and 33 seconds.

Of course you never get true silence with people in a room. They
breathe and move - even when seated or standing still.

It will probably be normalized to 0dB when played on the radio. :-)

I suspect you are correct. Indeed, if it is released on CD as well as
download...

Slainte,
