Ah, I'm fascinated that you read it as a Cage reference! More often than not, my titles refer to some old pop record or other, and in this case my excitement about Paola Prestini's opera 'Silent Light' made me think of this title… from a 1976 LP by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roaring_Silence
Just want to say thanks for the service you do through your writing to the new music community!
Why the cage reference title?

Oh...... I misremembered the title of Cage's book 'Silence' - I had read the biography "the roaring silence" by David Revill and got it mixed up.
