dessen gemerkt: gezeugter Klang und die erdachte Musik, lässt sich nicht hervorbringen. Deswegen spielt er „stillschweigende Musik“. Der Begriff bezieht sich auf eine Zeit, als davidly und sein Bandkollege, Barry Bennett, jeweils mit einem imaginären Bassist, d.h. nicht existierenden Teil der Musik spielten, statt kontinuierlich direkt mit einander (implied music). Wenn er als Solist spielt, versucht er, seine musikalischen Ideen zu begleiten statt zu betonen. Jeder Zuhörer kann unbewusst diesen Mitspieler erfuehlen, und ihn in eigener Weise zu einer eigenen „stillschweigenden“ Musik interpretieren.

Implied music is what is felt, but not necessarily heard. The idea is the result of the lack of a traditional rhythm section: Original MiLkBabY member Jason Kunesh wanted a bassist, someone to hold down a line around which he could play. After Jason left the band, and after the band experimented with a bassist, as a quartet, and as a quintet, it occurred to the core of the band that what they had gotten used to was playing to an implied bass, giving them the freedom and ease to play poly-rhythmically without the dreaded need to count, thereby preserving the organic feel to which they had also become accustomed. Moreover, implied music is that which is represented in the music itself, and heard in any music in which the listener uses his or her imagination to allow it to exist. This doesn’t mean that the players don’t have to listen to one another. On the contrary. It is equally important for the actors to listen to each other, regardless of the space, and allow implication to arise out of what is being heard, in order to discover what is actually being said.
