Part of LibriVox Short Science Fiction Collection 005. Describes the quiet, comically quirky, quest of an eccentric, yet persistent, visiting composer seeking solitude and tranquillity. He’s so determined to find the elusive silence conducive to his creative process that he finds himself driven onto the shores a distant planet populated by wee alien doods. Tragically he finds frustration is the note struck most decisively as he attempts to rid himself of all distractions, a sentiment eventually echoed by the locals. Excellent and well funny.

Ahhh.......The Sound of One's Own Voice. Some people can Talk All Day Long and never Listen to a Word They are Saying.
A Short but Fun little story that proves that One Man's Music is another Man's Noise.
Reminds Me of a particularly irritating Roommate I once lived with, who had to have Music playing Every Second of the Day when he was home. Even when he was sleeping. And the worst part of it was, He really did have Awful Tastes in Music.
Now if You'll Excuse Me, I must go listen again the John Cage's Masterpiece 4'33". Every time I listen to it, I Hear Something New!
