Reading Experience
At 30,245 words across roughly 121 pages, this one runs about 2.5 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For music & sound, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
Sound and Silence was written in 2016, when Atharva Inamdar was 19 and developing what would become The Vomit Method — marathon writing sessions of 20 hours a day, 15 days straight, to finish a book. The music & sound work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. Music writing from an author whose creative process — marathon sessions, emotional intensity, volume of output — has more in common with musicians than most writers.
