Seaford church sells the sounds of silence
11:40am Wednesday 3rd October 2012 in News By Ben Leo, reporter
Rev Canon Dr Andrew Mayes
A Seaford church is giving people the chance to sample its silence.
St Peter’s Church in East Blatchington, Seaford, is bringing out a CD which features almost nothing but peaceful ambience from inside the walls of the 12th century building.
The 30-minute recording begins with a spoken introduction that includes a few words from the Rector, the Rev Canon Dr Andrew Mayes.
He said: “We want to raise the profile of our church, and let people in the neighbour-hood and in the town of Seaford generally, know what we do. St Peter’s has been here 800 years, but we sense we’re Seaford’s best-kept secret.”
The idea came from a friend of the church, Roger Bing.
He produced a silence CD for another church nearly 20 years ago and thought a new one would help St Peter’s to attract new members.
The CD will be available to buy at the church’s open day on Saturday.

Wouldn't it be great,though, if you could play something like this and have the recorded silence drown out any ambient noise!
