The Silence

The Silence started with the producer and guitarist Tiago Hóspede’s hands and mind and Ricardo China, the vocalist, both of whom, soon after, joined with Bruno Tozzini (synthesizers, keys and sound effects). The trio got into a studio some months ago to work on their first melodies and lyrics as well as on the group’s concept, which will always value musical quality. Later, Rafael Cartman, guitarist, Fernando Schaefer, drummer, and also Danilo Fratângelo, bass guitar player were invited, thus giving the band its final shape to complete the recordings.
With its members’ know-how and experience, The Silence focused on its release strategies and started to disclose the album “States of Mind” through word-of- mouth, with the help of friends, by means of episodes and key words which “unblock” the download of each song. The band was soon known by the public that appreciates this kind of music and was rapidly spread through social sites, like Facebook page and the Youtube. After a short time, many people were keeping up with the band’s routine. As a result, some shows started to be scheduled, including a tour in Chile in the middle of this year.
“Since we worked on our first song, we have wanted to do something different, which could go on the opposite direction from what is being done to release a band nowadays. We like the hardcore, the metal, electronic music and video games and we deal with many alternative means of research and distribution, for this reason, mixing the release of our CD with the mission of virtual games was a mere consequence”, says Tozzini. The Silence was originated from a genuine motivation and this will also be reflected in our live shows too”, adds Hóspede.
