Silence Is Sexy focuses on the so-called (new) contemporary classical composers that are increasingly gaining popularity in the field of ‘pop music’. They are engaged in the world of classical music but are willing to have electronica trickle through in their work, often resulting in a unique sound.

Guy Van Nueten (B)

Fact #1: we always think that Nueten is spelt Neuten, but that's where we always go wrong.
Fact #2: he would appear to be a famous unknown to the general public, even though he can be/has been heard aside dEUS, Daan, Admiral Freebee and Zita Swoon.
Fact #3: quotes often speak volumes. Hereby:

Jeroen Olyslaegers: "’Pacman’ is an album that pursues you like a Pacman eating away at digital pieces of your heart."
Mauro Pawlowski: "Guy is one of the rare musicians who persists in maintaining his timeless idiom, averse to all trends."
De Standaard: "Four years after the stunning ‘Merg’, he knows how to take your breath away once again: with disarmingly playful piano performances on the extremely personal album ‘Pacman’. Right from the very start, his piano playing conjures up an almost filmic universe in which you would love to get lost and never return.”

Lori Goldston (US)
Earth, Cat Power, Matana Roberts, David Byrne, Laura Veirs and Wolves in the Throne Room. That is only a random selection of the names with which classically schooled cellist/composer Lori Goldston has shared a stage. We deliberately didn't even mention Nirvana yet, where she was also to be heard on their ‘Unplugged in New York’ album. Her latest albums were released via Belgium's Sub Rosa and the famous Mississippi Records is more than happy to release her albums too. Live, she plays purely acoustic.
