Make Music Winter

Unsilent Night

Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night is a mobile outdoor sound sculpture in which the audience becomes the performer. Composed in 1992, this multi-track electronic ambient piece has become a beloved annual holiday tradition for people around the world. It’s very simple to do: Each participant simultaneously plays one of four pre-recorded tracks from any device that amplifies music (such as a phone connected to speakers, a boombox, a homemade rig) as they walk together on a pre-determined route.
