When:
Short story:
It is reported that Michelle Shocked has released an album entitled Inaudible Women, which consists of eleven tracks of silence. Shocked, however, claims that it actually does contain sounds - at frequencies so high they can only be heard by dogs. Several of the 'silent' songs are named after record company executives. It is assumed that Shocked is making some sort of protest against the music industry, and specifically against the low payments made to artists by Spotify, but precise details prove difficult to pin down.Full article:
Michelle Shocked : When I talked to clubs about touring this Fall, they said they would book me under one condition. They said music shouldn't just be free on the internet, it should be free everywhere. We love our furry friends. They share our beds, our toothbrushes, and they share our burgers. I decided I was going to make a high album — in fact, the highest album ever made. Just so that my friends Spot and Rex can hear it; not audible to human ears.
