You asked: Just wondering if your "Speaking Silence" is a clever reference to a Bob Dylan song (Love Minus Zero, No Limit).
No, but I love that album!
Speaking silence (chash-mal) is the esoteric hidden meaning of the word Chashmal in hebrew. The word generally means 'electricity' but is used to describe the highest level of a spiritual breakthrough in the Book of Ezekiel when the prophet sees the burning chariot that bears visionary communication. It implies that a very psychedelic thing is about to happen...ie music. Great music speaks beyond the notes to the space between the notes (silence).
Hope that makes sense
