VOID (band)

PART 1

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

I feel that best tension is created when 'silence' is put after verb. I put first 'silence' after "ISKL provides", because it makes audience think about what it provides and clearly explains deeper understanding of the statements as it draws the readers' attention. Also, by putting silence after "that challenges", the VOID is created because audience don't know what it challenges yet, and it's a really important topic since it is introducing the school's goal and furthermore it would make readers stay focused on it. This whole statement with VOID creates tension to the audience because it makes them very curious and also to ask questions about what school statement states, what will happen in their children's school and how it will benefit their children. As parents, they, of course, want their children to have good education which means they do care about the school's mission goals. So, I think putting those silences after mission statements and verbs will create a big void, and tension.

Part 2

Most composers create tension in various ways to make music more interesting, and meaningful with depth. One of those ways is creating a sudden silence during a piece to make listeners wait for the next coming part which would be very important. Composers also use lots of pauses and releases to go back to the normal state of the piece, and that makes the music even more meaningful and interesting. Another way is creating a sudden dynamic change, like very loud to suddenly soft (ff-pp) or very soft to suddenly loud (pp-ff). These kinds of voids make listeners get curious and be focused on the sudden parts. And audience will also enjoy the music, thinking it is very creative and interesting, as the composer creates tension. Thus, creating tension in music has a great effect as a void, as the audience not only start questioning but also be focused on music and enjoy it.
