Article Excerpt:

A hallmark of zen is silence. A hallmark of the LSAT is silence. And a hallmark of good music is silence. 

This could be the silence of John Cage's 4'33. It might be the holistic quote of Claude Debussy: "Music is the space between the notes." Perhaps it's the quiet following the finale of an epic composition, the empty downbeats among reggae's upstrokes, or, if you're into the maniacally riveting phenomenon that is dubstep, it's the brief but catacombic stillness before a heavy, wobble-bass plants a black hole in your chest.
