Unsilent Night in Tucson
On Sunday, December 18th at 7pm I am organizing a performance of downtown NY composer Phil Kline's ambient Christmas masterpiece, Unsilent Night in Tucson.
YOU ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE!!! (Well, that is if you live in Tucson.)
Unsilent Night is an outdoor ambient music piece for an INFINITE number of boom box tape/CD players. It's kind of like Christmas carolling, except that we won't sing, but rather carry boom boxes, each playing a separate tape/CD, which is part of the piece. In effect, we'll become a block-long stereo system!
WHAT YOU NEED: Yourself, a portable boom box tape/CD player, and a cheery holiday attitude (no grinches)!
We will meet at University Main Gate near Centennial Hall. Please arrive no later than 6:45pm so tapes/CDs can be distributed. From there, we will proceed down University Ave, turning left onto 4th Ave. We will continue down the east side of 4th until the underpass, where we'll turn around and come back up the west side of 4th. We will finish at the intersection of 4th and University, where the piece will end at around 8 o'clock.
Please RSVP by emailing me no later than December 16 so I know how many tapes/CDs to make. And let me know whether you'll have a tape or CD boom box so I know what format to make for you. If you don't have a boom box but just want to come and listen, that's cool too.
Be a part of this one-of-a-kind cult holiday tradition. Help us make a BIG and joyful noise!
See you there!
