"Silence Teaches You How To Sing" is an EP release by Norwegian experimental music act Ulver. The EP was released through Jester Records in September 2001. It´s a companion release to the December 2001 "Silencing The Singing" EP, and along with the material found on the companion release, most of the material featured on "Silence Teaches You How To Sing" was recorded during the recording sessions for "Perdition City: Music To An Interior Film" (Ulver´s fifth full-length studio album), which was released in March 2000.

"Silence Teaches You How To Sing" features only one 24:05 minutes long ambient electronic oriented track, which opens with 4 minutes of drone/noise, but after that pretty harsh opening to the track moves into much more melodic and easier to access ambient music territories, but after 4 minutes of that returns to ambient noise territory again. And that´s pretty much the story of the whole track. ambient droning parts are counterpointed by atmospheric melancholic parts. The emotions of the music therefore range from dark and disturbing to subtle and melancholic. "Silence Teaches You How To Sing" is well produced and it´s overall a decent quality release. A bit more direction and less of the feeling that the track is put together almost at random, would have made the listening experience a bit more satisfactory, but the track certainly contains some interesting parts. A 2.5 (50%) rating is warranted.
