I believe that the silence of the composition brings the listener closer to what isn't being written, so the non-compositional nature becomes part of the composition.

AM I SPEAKING SPANISH, HERE?!
The number of performers, the instruments, the length of the piece, how the piece looks, and the experience of the composers could all differentiate from one silent piece to another. Are the noises that the performers are making identical to one another? (Ideally) yes. Is it redundant to write it down? Maybe, depends on the piece for me. Is it a composition? **** yes it is.

You don't agree that those things make them different?

One guitarist, one bassist, one drummer, and one singer performing a 3 minute song.



Three guitarists, two bassists, one drummer, one conga player, two tympanists, and the f*cking Mormon Tabernacle Choir performing a 30 minute suite.



No difference to my EARS.
