often the best tool available to a composer to enhance the quality of a composition is silence .. interspersing bits of silence amidst music can significantly add to the overall effect .. kinda ironic though ..
When speaking at a presentation or even in TA class, if you notice some people are not paying attention, just stop talking for about 5-10 seconds. It is amazing how the silence will make them pop up their heads and start listening. Interesting social experiment actually.
