Chup

Creativity exists as much in the content of the world as in the non content of the world. No picture is complete without emphasis on the details of light as of the dark. Colors are as important as shadows. No symphony similarly is complete without the concept of beats. Beats is nothing but the intermingling of music or tone with non music or non tone. An aspiring artist seeks out with a begging bowl. He or she begs the universe of matter as much as of the non matter. In the pop culture influenced by matter we tend to forget the emptiness that is required in the creative process of the art.
It is not something that is consciously attained. Emptiness is a gift as much as the creative mold is a gift. It was a privilege that I heard the album of Zeb and Haniya. Chup I think typified their style. A song that talks about silence. The music is as comfortable with silence as it is with the content of the song. It is no slight wonder that the smile of the song is in its silence and guess work.

Silence happens to be the title of their album.
