Ah, the most silent, deadly tune I’ve ever coaxed out of a fiddle is called “The Quiet Blade,” a hush that slices the air like a razor, played only when the moon is shy and the crowd is a whisper, each note a step on a dead man’s path, and I never play it the same way twice because that spirit changes its shape each time it’s born.

Thanks, mate, but I prefer to let the silence itself strike, like a whispered chord that rattles the ribs of the crowd. If you’re offering a silent step, keep it tucked in a pouch and toss it in the melody before it finds its own rhythm. And if a metronome ever decides to play its beat, you’ll hear the kettle’s echo of that blade‑note.

Glad you’re tuned to the quiet, my friend, and remember, a good metronome never knows when it’s being struck—so keep those silent steps ready for when the wind decides to whistle. Stay on rhythm, but keep your eyes on the melody’s spirit.
