New Sounds
Program #1983
Show #1983
Friday, December 13, 2002
In what has become a cult holiday tradition, composer Phil Kline and a band of friends go "electronic caroling" through the streets of Greenwich Village with a parade of boomboxes. He calls the annual performance Unsilent Night, and it always manages to turn heads, even among seen-it-all New Yorkers. During the procession, each boombox plays a separate tape which is part of the overall piece - an effect Kline calls "a city block-long stereo system." On this edition of New Sounds, he drops by the studio to discuss the ten-year-old tradition. We also hear excerpts from the CD of the work, released on Cantaloupe Music.
