Void Blog #1

Part1: The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides (silence) an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.

Explanation: I feel that adding a silence after the word "provides" creates the best tension since it creates a void that would make people ask questions such as "What does The International School of Kuala Lumpur provide?". The audience will be killing themselves trying to figure out what the school really provides and that creates a huge tension and most importantly, they will feel the power of the void. The whole idea is to make the audience wait for an answer while they are trying to figure it out themselves too and that is why I would put silence right next to the word "provides"

Part 2: Composers are the ones who really control the music and therefore, creating a tension and release in their music is always possible. Based on the knowledge I have gained, I think composers could create a sudden silence right after a huge climax, and release a soothing rhythm after the silence. During that silence, the audience will be wandering..."Has the music ended?" or "what comes next?". It really would make the audience curious and they will once again, feel the power of the void.
