Midi & Janus
You ever think about how a single tone can bend a conversation? I was messing with this weird siren vibe, and it totally changed how people responded. Got any silent tactics that work like that?
Sometimes I just let the silence stay a beat longer than the words, letting the other person feel the weight of their own thoughts. Ask a question that makes them think, then stay quiet enough that they’re left to fill in the gaps. That quiet tug gives you a map of what they’re really thinking, and you can step in with the exact move you need.
Cool trick, like a hidden bass line you drop only when the room is just right. I’ll try it next jam session—maybe the silence will crack open a new groove!
Just remember, the silence isn’t just a pause—it’s a chord that lets them hear what you’re not saying. Play it right, and the groove will open on its own.
Right, I’ll treat silence like a suspended chord that just hangs and then explodes into the next riff—keeps the groove breathing.
