A church desperate to raise funds has recorded 'the sound of silence' on to a CD which has become a surprise hit with its congregation.

Members of St Peter's Church in East Blatchington, Sussex, recorded 'a little bit of the silence' of the building's atmosphere.

The unusual audio has been a surprise hit with churchgoers, with St Peter's selling their first copies at an open day and taking more orders since.

The recording of St Peter's atmosphere features the ambient sound of footsteps, voices, background traffic noise - but mostly nothing at all.

Some people will buy anything :pac:

Is this Sound of Silence a cover of Simon and Garfunkel or is it supposed to be a new song with the same name?

You probably would if it helped to raise funds for the church, but listen to it? Nah.

The Sound of Silence-

The Church is plagiarising John Cage.

Ah, but there's a method to their madness. What they're selling is not strictly silence, it's Ambience.

I'd a friend who did that to me, only it was a recording of a round of the rosary - I did not know what was happening..

It's not a proper representation of mass if there's no coughing. It should be dead silent for ages until one person coughs, followed by about fifteen other people who have wanted to cough for ages but have been too embarrassed to.

Let's hope no one farted during the recording...
