Quote:

---

Unsilent Night ... takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music in the form of a cassette, CD, or Mp3. Together all four tracks comprise Unsilent Night. The fact that the participants play different "parts" simultaneously helps create the special sound of the piece. Participants carry boomboxes, or anything that amplifies music, and simultaneously start playing the music ... creating a unique mobile sound sculpture which is different from every listener's perspective

Starts [and ends] at 1515 Broadway, Detroit at 7 PM Friday, night.

I will be joining it this year. I have the app downloaded to my phone and my bluetooth-connected small Bose speaker.

People are welcome to simply walk along but it you want to participate further tech details can be found here: http://unsilentnight.com/participate.html
