In "Reprise" (2015), I follow the syncopated rhythm of patterned and solid forms; big and small vessels; fat and slender, alongside tall- and stump-throated vases; poignant silences;  adjacent and far-apart echoing lines,  as well as various-sized intervals between the medley of overlapping objects.

"Carbon 7 (161)" from her new album, "Black Origami," spreads percussion and synthetic sounds across a wide stereo space — drums, bells, cymbals, blips, chopped-up voices — and rushes ahead through a staccato wilderness of impacts and silences, of patterns that shatter before they ever get predictable.

A special thanks to my producers through the years: Bianna Golodryga, Nicole Petallides, Robert Hum, Kristen Scholer, Jill Harding and Kirsten Chang, all of whom worked with me in a small room and were (and in Kirsten's case, still are) unfailingly cheerful despite my long silences and general weirdness.

Letts, for the record, has already explored this much-tilled territory in his Pulitzer-shortlisted "Man From Nebraska," seen here in 2017 (and, like "Linda Vista," a Second Stage presentation.)

She renders Kossola's story as he told it, not only linguistically, in his dialect, but narratively, in his own wandering way—sending readers into sad silences and on distracted errands of the sort she'd shared with him, closing the garden gate on them the way he'd closed it on her.
"Silences" by Adia Victoria Hip-hop and R'n'B have become the de facto musical vehicles for the concerns of people of colour in America, but Adia Victoria returned to the source of the African-American musical tradition—the blues—for her own meditation on race, religion, sexual politics and oppression.

It was a year that felt like a decade: 240 saw the arrival of a new president (and an at-the-ready resistance movement), the unsealing of long-held silences on abuse and consent, a radically new world order and a terrifying spate of natural and human-made disasters (fire, water, terror).

Eisenberg is a gorgeous writer of lines and dialogue and paragraphs, all the artistry in the marks upon the page, but even more deeply — and much more interestingly — she is an artist of the unsaid: the unacknowledged silences in a family, the imaginative volta between seemingly disparate images, the barely intimated strangenesses of the world.

Earlier this week, Senator Rand Paul tweeted that "every American should oppose U.S. funding of U.N. programs that infringe on sovereign nations' rights," while The Wall Street Journal's Mary Anastasia O'Grady wrote, without evidence, that the "international left has cheered the murky influence and capriciousness of CICIG because it strong-arms and silences ideological opponents of socialism."

If Sciamma's imagery (diaphanous scarves and, in one sequence, a strategically placed mirror) is often too-obvious, and her love for pregnant silences and doleful stares begins to feel tiresome, the filmmaker makes sure that "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" looks sensational: Claire Mathon's sensuous cinematography, glowing with candlelight and embers, is as much a character as the gorgeous women on screen.
The light rhythmic voices of the video "Lak-kat," in which two young Senegalese boys practice Wolof — one of their country's indigenous languages — impinge on the pounding noise and abrupt silences in the video "Answer Me."

In this series, Louis C.K. fuses this golden-age-of-Broadway drama with our contemporary theater, since its moody, lingering silences owe a debt to the playwright Annie Baker (she is thanked in the credits), and the most thrilling moments are because of its cast, which includes an all-star team of stage actresses: Rebecca Hall, Nina Arianda, Edie Falco, Laurie Metcalf, Karen Pittman, Maria Dizzia and Jessica Lange.
I feel sure the poem and the song wouldn't have been written if he'd put his hand over hers on that long-ago afternoon and she'd answered with a kiss, if they'd had time to reach the irritations and disappointments — the finger taps on the tabletop, the laundry piles, the uneasy silences — that are inevitable in our lives but may not be all that helpful where certain love poems are concerned.

All the red flags, all the fights, all the insults, all the times he would scream at me in public and abandon me at bus stops in the middle of the night, all the times he didn't call, all the times he called me crazy, all of his radio silences, all his yelling, all the times I felt sick with worry and pain because I had displeased him so much — it was like I was a slave to everything he wanted.

In the book, the gaps between entries are of variable lengths, and, since the poem marks time, require silences of variable intervals: now laughing mallards pull themselves together now swans make straight lines across water now webs on twigs now the rapid whisper of a grasshopper scraping back and forth as if working at rust and now a gorse bush as I glance towards it a sort of swelling yellow- ness a smelling somehowness barely keeps still enough to be certain while a fern unfolds growing outside the time zone now 4:32 now 4:33 The speaker is Tithonus himself, in love with Dawn but excruciated to be held captive to yet another day.
