Quiet is Violent is an art piece that is meant to show how overwhelming some thoughts are that might race through one’s mind while they are alone in silence with nothing to distract them. The words used in the composition come from lyrics used in a song, a recipe for a “happy life” and from an excerpt from a book.

When isolated in silence, some people will try to overcompensate for the lack of sound by overanalyzing everything from the mundane tasks in their daily lives all the way to the larger questions about life and death that cannot be answered.
