Unsilent Night = A Boombox Holiday Parade

This was an amazing event put on by sound sculptor Phil Klein. His annual Unsilent Night is a parade using boomboxes to play his CD's of unique blend of chime and vocal holiday sounds. Updating the traditional caroling, around 200 people gathered in NYC's Washington Square Park to march through the East Village. They stopped traffic and inspired onlookers with the mystical sounds. It was a truly magical holiday event that showed the power of public participatory art to bring joy to the mundane.
