Phil Kline's Unsilent Night comes to the RGV!

Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night is a free outdoor participatory sound sculpture of many individual parts, recorded on cassettes, CDs and mp3s, and played through a roving swarm of boomboxes carried through city streets every December. People bring their own boomboxes and drift peacefully through a cloud of sound which is different from every listener’s perspective. Since 1992, this 45-minute work has grown into a worldwide annual communal event that has become an essential part of many winter holiday celebrations.

Check this out! We will do our own here in the Valley. I've heard its pretty awesome! I will have the walking route mapped out and we will start and end at Archer Park. http://www.unsilentnight.com/

Here is the link to choose a track. Any track can be chosen. The sounds will mix together well. It would be best to download and

There are a number of ways to get the track. You can use the free Unsilent Night app. The app is 100MB so you will need wifi to download.

You can also use the soundcloud on the webpage but its not always ideal if you have a skip in service as we walk.

I strongly encourage people to bring boomboxes or any speaker system/device you can connect to your phone (Phone works well too) that will blast the music.

Lets meet at the Pavillion in Archer park and we will depart from Archer park shortly after. Please do not be late.
