I’ll be among the boombox-toting hordes in Washington Square Park this Saturday for the annual performance of Unsilent Night.
For those unfamiliar with the event, it’s a really unique experience. Hundreds of participants walk together across NYC carrying boomboxes playing CD’s or cassettes of original music composed by the amazing Phil Kline. The sound is gorgeous, and people’s reactions are priceless.
You may notice some similarities with In Bb, particularly the asynchronous audio and user participation. Phil Kline was definitely an influence on that project, and I think fans of In Bb would really dig this live performance. If you’re in NYC, bring a boombox and join in!
