September updates, vague release plans, and a call for art.
Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing as well as could reasonably be expected.
Life continues apace over here. Been working on some stuff as usual, and after some thought and discussion I think we're gonna move forward with another "waterfall release" type model for some upcoming stuff - several singles, each adding additional tracks, ultimately working towards a traditional full-length album.
Part of what's exciting about this to me is that it's more. Lol. More artwork, more excuses to do sonic experiments and off-the-cuff things, more songs. And to that effect: if you're someone who wants to contribute human-being-made art to an upcoming release, get in touch! Can't really afford to spend any money on it, unfortunately, but I'll make sure you get something cool in exchange.
Anyways, I'm excited. Stay safe and stay sane everyone. I know it's tough sometimes.

Thank you to everyone who has picked up the latest release and for your continued support over the years. The Print on Demand options are pretty exciting - having something in one's hands will always feel special. Excitedly writing and starting to track more stuff on a newer workstation. Better things are always possible and always just beyond the horizons we can see if we're willing to look for them. With love. — G.

// about
The Silence Industry was formed in early 2007, spearheaded by Graham as its primary member and creative force. The project's lineup is fluid, welcoming collaborators who share Graham's vision at any given time.
The Silence Industry does not aim to create accessible or conventional music. It is a raw, do-it-yourself endeavor that prioritizes artistic integrity over mainstream appeal. The music is unapologetic and uncompromising - an unfiltered outpouring of expression. If it doesn’t resonate with everyone, that’s entirely by design, not out of arrogance but as a simple matter of artistic truth.
To date, The Silence Industry has released nine or ten works - depending on how one counts - which are available online for free, though some may require dedicated searching. Over the years, the band has collaborated with several Netlabels, including Ekleipsi, Enough Records, and afmusic, among others.
The Silence Industry strongly supports the principles of libre-music, viewing music not as a commercial product but as a multifaceted medium: a form of expression, communication, sound, and noise; a personal journal, a love letter, agit-prop, poetry, and even fun. Music, to Graham and his collaborators, is a shared experience, a space for minds to explore and grow. While it can inevitably take on the shape of entertainment, The Silence Industry consciously resists the commodification of its work in a profit-driven world.
The band draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including post-punk, progressive rock, folk, labor songs, experimental noise, and even pop music - an unavoidable byproduct of immersion in a commercially saturated culture from birth.
The Silence Industry invites listeners to explore its music, to connect with it on a personal level, and to experience the journey it offers.
