Silence can be defined as a soundscape with loudness below 20 dB. This project is an open archive which collect silence as soundscape / field recording below 20 dB. This is an attemp to create a sound museum of silence. Is an open and on-going project, so everyone can contribute with a silence, sending it by email (20decibel[at]gmail.com).

With the sound some information are required, like: place of the rec, time of the rec and of the day when was taken, type of ambient in wich the rec was taken, and of course the author. Based on this cataloque of infos, some publication (like digital collection) will be released showing a particular topic.

By sending your track you agree to below20 to use it for publication/exhibition purpose.

For a good hearing experience, below 20 suggests to use good headphones set or soundsystem.
