As Cage pointed out, the recording isn't silence. It's the sound of an orchestra shuffling paper, realising the entire song is empty, scooching their chair back and the angry foot-thumps as they exit the studio.

Bit of column A, bit of column B. This appearance on TV where he plays music by whacking random objects makes that clear.
